Somali charged with attempted murder in Denmark

Danish authorities say a Somali man has been charged with two counts of attempted murder for an attack on an artist whose cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad ignited riots and outrage across the Muslim world.

Jakob Scharf, head of Denmark's intelligence agency, said the 28-year-old Somali man with ties to al-Qaeda broke into Kurt Westergaard's home in Aarhus on Friday night. The 75-year-old artist pressed an alarm and fled with his 5-year-old granddaughter to a special safe room. (AP)
