Denmark: Cartoons do not violate law
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
COPENHAGEN, Denmark
Denmark's top prosecutor said Wednesday he will not press charges against the newspaper that first published the Prophet Muhammad cartoons that angered Muslims worldwide.
The Foreign Ministry warned the decision could cause "negative reactions" against Danes and warned citizens to be cautious when traveling in Muslim countries.
Director of Public Prosecutions Henning Fode upheld the decision of a regional prosecutor who ruled the drawings published in Jyllands-Posten September 30 did not violate Danish law. Fode's decision cannot be appealed.
