Swede in 'cartoon plot' extradited

A man arrested in Stockholm over a foiled plot to murder staff at Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that published caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, is to go on trial in Denmark.

A Swedish court has ruled that Sabhi Zalouti, a 37-year-old Swede of Tunisian origin, should be extradited to Denmark.

He is accused with others of plotting to kill as many journalists as possible at the Copenhagen offices of the Jyllands-Posten.

It was in 2005 that the paper published a dozen cartoons of the Prophet that triggered violent, and sometimes deadly, protests around the world.
