7 arrested in plot to kill Modog artist
Vilks had a $100,000 bounty put on his head in 2007 by mythical al-Qaida leader, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi. An extra 50% was offered if he was “slaughtered like a pig” by having his throat cut.
According to The Independent report, some of the seven are Muslim converts.
The BBC, with impeccable impartiality, points out that it is only media reports which state that the arrested are Muslims
though a police statement did not confirm this.
Well, it’s true – they could be Mormons. Or dog lovers.
UPDATE: (14 March) Four have been released.
