Denmark: Man Who Set Off Explosives May Have Been Attempting to Attack Newspaper Behind Mohammed Cartoons…

The never ending cartoon jihad…

(Reuters) – Denmark raised its terror attack preparedness Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States, after a man set off a small explosion in a Copenhagen hotel Friday.

Daily newspaper Ekstrabladet, citing police sources, said police had found a map with the address of daily Jyllands-Posten’s headquarters in the city of Arhus circled among the man’s belongings.

Jyllands-Posten’s publication in 2005 of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad provoked protests in the Middle East, Africa and Asia in which at least 50 people died.


[ Hmm, so far, the death toll over the cartoons exceeds the death toll over the non-existent koran burning. ]

Last year a plot to attack the paper was unveiled and in January the creator of the most controversial cartoon escaped an axe attack by a man with al Qaeda links.

…After the explosion, police surrounded the suspect in Orsted Park and security personnel removed a bag wrapped around his waist with remote controlled cutting pliers.

He said the suspect appeared to be European or North African and around 40 years old and spoke excellent English.
