Plea to bin Laden to retaliate
Fri 3 Feb 2006
news.scotsman.com

Tens of thousands of Sudanese demonstrators in Khartoum filled a downtown square, calling for a boycott of goods from Denmark after the publication of controversial cartoons of the prophet Muhammad.

Some shouted: "You Danish Satan, the Muslim people are now out after you!" Some even shouted for al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden to retaliate for the insult to their prophet.

"Strike, strike, strike, bin Laden!" the frenzied group chanted.

Demonstrators wrapped a copy of a Danish flag around a donkey - regarded as a symbol of stupidity - and hoisted it as the crowd jeered.

Then they tore off the flag and burned it.

"We are ready to die in defence of you our beloved prophet," yelled the crowd.

Witnesses said nearly 50,000 people took part, but it was impossible to independently estimate the number.
