COPENHAGEN, Jan 2 (AP) – A Somali man wielding an axe and a knife was shot by police as he attempted to kill an artist who drew a cartoon depicting Prophet Muhammad that sparked outrage in the Muslim world. Jakob Scharf, head of the PET intelligence agency, said the 28-year-old man with ties to the al-Qaida group al-Shabab broke a window and entered Kurt Westergaard’s home in Aarhus last night armed with an axe and a knife.
The man was charged at a court hearing in Aarhus, Denmark’s second largest city. He was wheeled into courtroom on a stretcher from the hospital where he was being treated for his wounds accompanied by a lawyer, authorities said.
