Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* a very strong but unsubstantiated rumor of another attack planned against Danish Cartoons Controversy cartoonist Kurt Westergaard.

* wire stories report that one of the projected targets of recently captured Indonesian terrorist Abdullah Sunata was the Danish embassy in Jakarta, in response to the publication of the Danish Muhammed cartoons almost five years ago now. Everyone is taking this threat very, very seriously.

* this is partially but definitely related: Pakistan has announced it will monitor select web site for content upsetting to Muslims.

* this is barely related, but I thought worth noting. The British were very focused on prosecuting protesters after 2006 demonstrations about the 2005 publication of the cartoons, which left some observers fairly baffled. This article provides a bit more clarity about British concerns regarding certain radical groups.
