Police attend scene of break-in at home of the Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard

A 27-year-old Somalian was wounded in the incident at the Aarhus home of Kurt Westergaard, 74, who drew cartoons of Islam's prophet Mohammed.

Guards stopped three men trying to break into the house, Danish media reported.

The intruder is being held in custody, police said.

"At 10pm this evening, a personal alarm was received from Mr Westergaard's house," chief superintendant Morten Jensen, from East Jutland police, said.

Officers found the man "armed with an axe and a knife in either hand".

Chief Supt Jensen said: "He broke a window of Mr Westergarrds house. He tried to attack one officer with an axe and he was shot in his right leg and his left arm.

"He's not seriously injured, he's in custody," he added.

Denmark's Ritzau news agency said police sappers were sent in to the home to look for a bomb that might have been laid.

The Danish cartoonist caused fury in the Islamic world four years ago after a Danish newspaper published his drawings of Mohammed wearing a turban in the shape of a bomb.

Why do western countries continue to import this human waste from places like Somalia?

Somali Muslims. One of the worst cancers in the world. The US Catholic charities are supposedly importing a lot of them. Dumb Poppy Bush had to go there. Idiot.

I only hear of one being held, the one the police shot. Where are the other two? Did they just let them go?

Blowing up 75 people at a volleyball game is A-OK.

A cartoon showing Mohamed in an unpopular light is not.

I like the way you think. Text me and I'll bring some buddies. We like hunting groundhogs, but with winter and all...not much to do!
