Last Call

Gotta love nutballs.  Seems the Danish cartoonist who depicted a rather explosive Mohammed, Kurt Westergaard,  ran into some trouble today.  A Somali man broke into his home brandishing a few weapons and was shot for his troubles.

The 27-year-old man, who was not identified, wielded an ax and a knife and cracked a window at Westergaard's home in Aarhus, said police spokesman Morten Jensen. A home alarm alerted police to the scene at 10 p.m., and they were attacked by the man, he said.

The officers shot the man in the right leg and left hand. He was hospitalized, but was not seriously injured, police said.

Danish intelligence officials said the suspect is connected to al-Shabaab, al Qaeda's ally in east Africa.

The incident "once again confirms the terrorist threat that is directed against Denmark and against cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, in particular," said Jakob Scharf, spokesman for the Danish Security and Intelligence Service, in a statement.

Yeah, I'd keep an eye on the guy too.
