Kurt Westergaard Murder Plot Custody Appeal Expects Ruling By Friday

The two Tunisian nationals still in custody on the charges of plotting the murder of cartoonist Kurt Westergaard and his wife for Westergaard's role in making caricatures of the prophet Muhammed that sparked worldwide attention had another appeal of their status that will be ruled on by Friday. They were arrested and have been held since February 12. Among the details brought up at trial were the purchase of a handgun, the pair keeping watch on Westergaard's home, and their watching of videos about suicide bombers. A case against a third suspect was dropped earlier this month.
