Danish Embassy In Pakistan Bombed, Apparently Over Muhammad Cartoons

AFP reports that today a suicide bomber blew up a car outside the Danish embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, killing 8 and wounding 30. While there was no immediate claim of responsibility, authorities say it was likely linked to caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad that were originally published in Danish newspapers in 2005. Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri have urged attacks on Danish targets in retaliation for the cartoons.
