Sweden: 2 guilty in Muhammad artist's home attack
None
A Swedish court convicted two brothers of trying to burn down the home of an artist whose Prophet Muhammad depiction infuriated some Muslims, and sentenced each of them Thursday to more than two years in prison.
The attempted arson attack was motivated by a controversial 2007 sketch by artist Lars Vilks that depicted Muhammad as a dog, the Helsingborg District Court said. The defendants, aged 19 and 21, were not identified by name due to Swedish privacy rules. They denied the charges, saying neither had been at Vilks' house in Nyhamnslage, southern Sweden, on the night of the incident. It was not immediately clear if they would appeal. (AP)
