Cartoon Terror Plot

An American and a Canadian have been arrested in Chicago charged with preparing terrorist attacks against the Jyllands-Posten newspaper – the paper which was condemned worldwide for publishing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed – and other Danish targets. “Those charged are reported to be David Coleman Headley, 49, and Tahawwur Hussain Rana, 48. The Chicago Tribune says that Headley is an American citizen who changed his name from Daood Gilani. Headley is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit terrorist acts involving murder and maiming outside the United States and another count of conspiracy to provide material support to the conspiracy,” Politiken reports. “Rana, who is Canadian, is charged with one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign conspiracy involving Headley and three other individuals.”
