Two Arrested In Plot to Attack Danish Paper That Published Muhammad Cartoons

Fallout from the publication by a Danish newspaper in 2005 of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad continues. The caricatures sparked protests from Muslims around the world. (See prior posting.) The Justice Department announced yesterday that two Chicago men were arrested this month for their alleged parts in a conspiracy to attack the offices of Jyllands-Posten, the first newspaper to publish the cartoons, or to kill cartoonist Kurt Westergaard and Flemming rose, the paper's cultural editor. Here are the full texts of the criminal complaints in US v. Rana and U.S. v. Headley. Today's Chicago Tribune reports on the indictments.
