Lebanon to compensate Denmark for damage to consulate
2007-04-28
Lebanon will compensate Denmark for damage to its consulate in Beirut during the riots last year over a Danish paper's publication of cartoons about prophet Mohammed, the Danish government has said. The Lebanese will provide $128,000 in compensation, the Danish foreign ministry said in a statement Thursday.

Protesters set fire to the building housing the Danish mission in Beirut's Ashrafiyeh neighborhood in February 2006 following the publication of the cartoons, deemed offensive by Muslims, in Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. The cartoons were later reproduced in other European newspapers
