Two arrested after attack on Swedish cartoonist’s home

Police arrested two suspects after an attempted fire-bomb attack on the home of a Swedish cartoonist, controversial for drawing the Prophet Muhammad with the body of a dog. The attack, overnight Friday to Saturday when Lars Vilks (pictured) was not at home, blackened part of the exterior, but the fire went out by itself although police found glass bottles containing gasoline inside. Both suspects, aged 21 and 19, are Swedish nationals of Kosovar origin who reside in the southern city of Landskrona and who were arrested after personal items were found near the scene, police said.
