Somali terrorist who tried to kill Danish Cartoonist Kurt Westergaard shot

Danish police have shot and wounded an axe-wielding Somali terrorist who tried to break into the home of Kurt Westergaard, whose 2005 drawings of Prophet Muhammad outraged radical Muslims around the world.

Michael Larsen, a Danish police spokesman, said that authorities arrived at the house minutes after receiving an alarm alerting them to the intruder. " When the police found this person and he attacked the police with an axe and a knife, he was shot."

The Danish police showed clemency to the terrorist by not shooting him in the head but in the leg and hand instead. He is in hospital now.
