Copies of Swedish daily burnt over caricature
 Hundreds of copies of a Swedish newspaper, which published a blasphemous cartoon were burnt overnight in Orebro, west of Stockholm, police said on Tuesday. They were put on fire intentionally, but we have no evidence why, no witness, and we can only speculate why they were put on fire, Orebro police spokesman Torbjorn Carlson said. No organisation claimed responsibility for the 200 to 300 burnt copies found in a bus shelter.On August 18, Nerikes Allehanda local newspaper, published a blasphemous cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed, sparking angry reactions from Muslim countries such as Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. We probably will never know who did it and why, Carlson added. Posted by: Fred 2007-09-05 |
