Mo-Cartoonist attacked, Somali Dead
2010-01-01
Breaking so I'm linking to a blog
Danish Police just shot a somali man a man who was trying
to attack Kurt Westergaard in Denmark. This was the cartoonist
who drew the cartoon of mohammed with a bomb in his turban. This is on bbc
tv right now, of course they won't show the actual cartoons they are
talking about.

No word on the religion of the attacker.

#6  yep: Times On-line has more, HT to Dan Riehl

Danish police last night shot and wounded a 27-year-old man trying to enter the home of Kurt Westergaard, whose controversial cartoons of IslamÂ’s prophet sparked riots across the Muslim world five years ago .

Police confirmed an “incident” at the house in Viby, near the city of Aarhus. Danish media expressed fears that it might have been an attempt on the life of the cartoonist.

Ten police cars attended the scene and the road was blocked. Police said that the intruder was armed with an axe and a knife. Bomb disposal experts were said to be searching the house for an explosive device.

The intruder, said to be of Somali origin, was taken to a hospital in the city under police custody and was being operated on, police said. :

#4  They obviously require more range time.

Looking at target would suffice. Closing eyes and shooting is not that easy, let's face it, they are no River Tam.
