Danish Cartoons: Four deny newspaper ‘massacre plot’

COPENHAGEN: Four men pleaded not guilty on Friday as they went on trial in Denmark for a suspected plot to massacre the staff of a newspaper that first published controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh). 

Prosecutors say the four were plotting to “kill a large number of people” at the Jyllands-Posten daily’s offices in Copenhagen when they were arrested.
