Declaring that they wanted to reaffirm freedom of speech after Danish police arrested three men for planning to murder Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist of the original Mohammed caricature, Danish newspapers have republished the drawings. The three suspects - two Tunisians and a Dane of Moroccan origin - had been detained “after lengthy surveillance.”

They say they wanted to show their commitment to freedom of speech after an alleged plot to kill one of the cartoonists behind the drawings. Three suspects were held in Denmark on Tuesday "to prevent a murder linked to terrorism", officials said. The cartoons were originally published by Jyllands-Posten in September 2005. Danish embassies were attacked around the world and dozens died in riots that followed. Jyllands-Posten and several other leading newspapers - including Politiken and Berlingske Tidende - reprinted the caricature in their Wednesday editions. The cartoon depicts Muhammad wearing a turban shaped like a bomb with a lit fuse. "We are doing this to document what is at stake in this case, and to unambiguously back and support the freedom of speech that we as a newspaper will always defend," Berlingske Tidende said. One Danish tabloid published all 12 drawings, the Associated Press news agency reported. (news.bbc)
