Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* three terrorism suspects accused of plotting such activities against the newspaper Jyllands-Posten and/or the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, are going on trial in Oslo. The three men, ages 40, 38 and 38, were arrested in mid-2010. One of the men received training at an Al Qaeda camp in Pakistan. Two of the men have admitted to plotting some sort of act, although the targets of the act described were different in each case -- thus the "and/or" clause above. Jyllands-Posten was the newspaper that originally published the infamous Danish Cartoons that led to international riots, economic boycotts and several deaths.

* missed this: Jyllands-Posten expressed solidarity with Charlie Hebdo on the occasion of the latter publication have their Paris-based offices blown up, ostensibly by people upset at their "Sharia Hebdo" issue.
