A man set himself on fire outside the Oslo, Norway, courthouse where Anders Breivik is on trial for terrorist attacks last summer in which 77 people died. Police said the man did not try to force his way through a barricade outside of the courthouse and was treated on site Tuesday, CNN reported. \"We don\'t know much about his motives, but he set himself alight outside the courthouse. Police were quick to put the fire out, and he has now been taken to hospital,\" Unni Groendal, an Oslo police spokesman told CNN. Norwegian daily newspaper VG said several court employees ran with water bottles to douse the flames. Video on the newspaper\'s Web site showed the man running toward the court building with his hat and jacket on fire. Police removed his clothing and trying to extinguish the flames as he lay on the ground, CNN said. The 33-year-old Breivik confessed to the July 22 killings in a bomb attack at a government building in downtown Oslo and a shooting spree on nearby Utoya Island but pleaded not guilty to murder and terrorism charges. He claimed \"self-defense\" and said his actions were justified because he was waging war against multi-culturalism and what he termed a Muslim invasion of Europe. One survivor of last summer\'s shooting rampage on Utoya Island told the court she and friends encouraged each other while hiding from Breivik. Ina Rangones Libak was hospitalized for a month after Anders Breivik shot her at least four times upon finding her hiding behind a piano in a building where he killed 13 people, the British publication The Guardian reported Tuesday. \"I remember all the shots that hit me,\" Libak, 22, told the court. She testified she managed to run but began falling. She said her friends carried her to shelter with others and used their clothes as tourniquets. \"Every time one person got really upset and said sorry, the other said: \'It\'s OK, we\'re going to work our way through this, we\'ll survive. We\'re going to make [it],\'\" Libak said.
