Geir Lippestad said his client promised to tip police off about two other terrorist cells that allegedly helped him organize the July 22 massacres if the authorities met his demands, which also include the resignation of the government.

One list of demands related to daily life in custody, such as for cigarettes and civilian clothing while the other refers to political reforms.

Lippestad said the 32-year-old anti-Muslim extremist wanted to be diagnosed by Japanese specialists because "he claims the Japanese understand the idea and values of honour and that a Japanese (specialist) would understand him a lot better than any European would," said Geir Lippestad.

His demands also include the complete overthrowing of both the Norwegian and European societies," Lippestad added.

Behring Breivik claims the massacre was part of a "crusade" to stop a "Muslim invasion" of Europe. Lippestad said his demands, showed that "he doesn't understand the situation he's in."

Breivik has confessed to killing eight people with a car bomb in Oslo before shooting dead 69 others at an island youth camp on July 22. He could be jailed for up to 30 years if convicted.
