Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* the artist Lars Vilks, who in the wake of the Danish Cartoons Controversy made a cartoon caricature of Muhammad's head on the body of a dog, was named as motivation by principals in bombings in Stockholm December 11. The country's presence in Afghanistan was cited as another reason for the terrorist act, that killed one, injured two and unsettled millions.

* the Telegraph has video of Vilks giving his reaction to this latest incident.

* the Independent has an editorial here, putting the incident and its proclaimed causes in context.
