00:40Denmark: Jyllands-Posten on high alert after Charlie Hebdo attack
The Jyllands-Posten newspaper in Copenhagen has implemented extra security measures Wednesday after an attack against a French satirical magazine in Paris Charlie Hebdo, which was believed to be in retaliation for the French publication reprinting cartoons insulting the Muslim Prophet Muhammad that were originally printed by the Danish paper.
Jyllands-Posten was the first publication in Europe to cause a global stir by publishing the pictures deemed insulting to Muslims. Publications across Europe such as Charlie Hebdo followed the Danish paper in printing the notorious pictures. In 2010, an assassination attempt was foiled in Copenhagen against Kurt Westergaard, the artist behind the 12 most controversial pictures.
