Swedish Artist Displays Prophet Cartoon
[AP/Washington Post] Louise Nordstrom - Swedish artist Lars Vilks displayed a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad to a seminar in Stockholm on Tuesday despite a death threat from al-Qaeda in Iraq. On Saturday, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, offered rewards for the killing of Vilks and a Swedish newspaper editor who published the cartoon on Aug. 19. Vilks said Monday that police had moved him to a secret location and told him he cannot return to his home following the threat.
