Five arrested for alleged role in London cartoon protests
 Police said on Wednesday they had arrested five men over their alleged role in a London protest against European newspaper cartoons caricaturing the Prophet Muhammad [PTUI PBUH]. A police spokeswoman told AFP that all five are suspected of trying "to stir up racial hatred", while four of them are suspected of incitement to murder. Police said the five were arrested for alleged offences committed during a February 3 protest outside the Danish embassy in London where placards were brandished with messages calling for the "massacre of those who insult Islam".
