No Charges For Danish Newspaper

Denmark's top prosecutor said Wednesday he will not press charges against the newspaper that first published the Muhammad cartoons that angered Muslims worldwide.

Director of Public Prosecutions Henning Fode upheld the decision of a regional prosecutor who ruled the drawings published in Jyllands-Posten Sept. 30 did not violate Danish law. Fode's decision cannot be appealed.

"The decision may cause negative reactions to Danes and Danish interests abroad," the ministry said. "With that background, Danes should be particularly cautious when traveling."USA Today
