Danish Cartoonist Kurt Westergaard Still Threatend - Somali Man Shot While Trying to Break-in

Kurt Westergaard, the author of the now infamous Mohammed cartoons, had his home broken into over the weekend.  A 27 year old Somali man weilding an ax and knife was shot by police. 

Westergaard has been living with threats to his life since his cartoons were re-printed in a Danish newspaper in the spring of 2006. 

The attacker is said to be aligned with al-Shabaab.  An al-Qaeda affliate in the eastern portion of Africa. 

It seems that Islamic related terrorism is on the rise around the world.
