Norwegian mass killer Breivik not allowed to read 'new manifesto' in court

Oslo, Apr 16 (ANI): Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik, who confessed to killing 77 people in a bombing and shooting rampage, has been banned from reading a 'new manifesto' he has written.

According to a lawyer Odd Gron, Breivik said 'he has written a presentation that will take an hour, and he wants to read that.'

"But the court have sent signals to us in a meeting that they won't allow that," The Telegraph quoted Gron, as saying.

Breivik handed a copy of the presentation, having more than 8,000-words, to his lawyers when he met them on Friday.

According to the paper, to help him in his preparation, Breivik was supplied with a computer, a political dictionary and a paper copy of the manifesto he sent out on the day he launched his massacre.

His trial opens in an Oslo courtroom today and is expected to last ten weeks. (ANI)
