OSLO (Reuters) -Anders Behring Breivik, the far-right fanatic who killed 77 people in twin attacks in Norway in 2011, remains "very dangerous" and should be kept in isolation in prison, a court heard on Friday.

The 44-year-old is suing the Norwegian state in a bid to end his years of isolation in prison and lift restrictions on his correspondence with the outside world. The five-day hearing ends on Friday.
