Breivik survivors face killer

Testimony of the five survivors relates to the attack by Breivik on the island of Utoya, where 69 of his 77 victims died.

The first survivor, a teenage girl, explained how she was hiding in a forest but was then forced to swim to the mainland, only realizing she had been wounded after she got out of the water.

The girl revealed she is still recovering in an institution after the massacre ordeal.

On Friday, anger boiled over when the first youths from Utoya met the man who tried to kill them at their summer camp near the capital Oslo last July.

The trial was briefly interrupted when 20-year-old Hayder Mustafa Qasim, a relative of one victim, threw a shoe at Breivik in court.

He had flown in from Iraq to hear his younger brother's autopsy being read out.

Qasim stood up the court room, on what was the last day of the 69 harrowing autopsies from Utoya and hurled his right shoe while shouting at Breivik.

Other victims and families applauded and cried as they saw the attacker being taken away by police and medical staff.

The police officer in charge of security indicated Qasim would not be punished for the shoe attack.

Court staff will be bracing themselves for more tension over the next two weeks, as another 38 survivors of Breivik's attacks give their evidence to the trial.

Breivik has admitted responsibility for a bomb blast that killed eight people in Oslo in addition to the island deaths.

But the 33-year-old has pleaded not guilty to murder and claimed he was acting in self-defence. The trial will decide whether he receives a prison sentence or is declared legally insane and sectioned in a psychiatric facility.
