– Target was Swedish cartoonist who drew Prophet Mohammed as a dogOne person has died after 200 bullets were fired into a cafe in Copenhagen in an attack on a cartoonist who was accused of insulting the Prophet Mohammed.Suspect: Police released this CCTV image of a man they are seeking in connection with the attackA man,[url=http://www.wholesalejerseyssale.us@#$%&/]China Jerseys Wholesale[/url], aged 40, was killed when a masked gunman sprayed bullets into the Krudttoenden cafe in the centre of the Danish capital this afternoon.It is believed the target was Lars Vilks, the controversial Swedish cartoonist who drew the Prophet Mohammed as a dog.Francois Zimeray, the French ambassador to Denmark,[url=http://www.wholesalesportsjerseys.us@#$%&/]Cheap Sports Jerseys[/url], was inside the cafe when the attack began and compared it to the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris last month.The attack is thought to have been carried out a lone wolf gunman, who remains on the run after fleeing the scene in a car.Three police officers were also injured in the attack on the cafe, which was hosting a debate on art and freedom of speech when it was targeted.Danish police, who initially said they were searching for two suspects, issued a picture of the main suspect, taken on street cameras near to where the getaway car, a VW Polo, was later found dumped.Denmark?s security service, PET, said the circumstances surrounding the shooting ?indicate that we are talking about a terror attack.?The country?s prime minister,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysfan.us@#$%&/]Jerseys From China[/url], Helle Thorning-Schmidt,[url=http://www.wholesalejerseyssale.us@#$%&/]Cheap NFL Jerseys China[/url], said the country was on high alert and said: ?We feel certain now that it was a politically motivated attack, and thereby it was a terrorist attack. We are on high alert all over the country.?The cafe had been hosting a debate titled Art, Blasphemy and Freedom of Expression, featuring a number of controversial speakers.Niels Ivar Larsen, who was speaking at the event, told how he forced to take shelter as the gunman opened fire indiscriminately at the cafe.He said: ?I heard someone firing with an automatic weapons and someone shouting.Shots were fired at this cafe in Copenhagen which was hosting a debate on freedom of speech?Police returned the fire and I hid behind the bar. I felt surreal, like in a movie.?Vilks,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysfan.us@#$%&/]Authentic Jerseys Cheap[/url], a Swedish artist known for his provocative drawings of the Prophet Mohammed, has faced several attempted attacks and death threats after he depicted the Prophet as a dog in 2007.As a result,[url=http://www.cheapjerseysauthenticonline.us@#$%&/]Cheap Jerseys NFL[/url], he is guarded by police any time he visits Denmark. It is believed he was the intended target of the attack.Just over a month ago, 17 people were killed in France in three days of violence that began when two Islamist gunmen burst into the Paris offices of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, opening fire in revenge for its publication of images of Mohammed.Comparisons between the two events are already starting to be made – including by the French ambassador Francois Zimeray, who was present at the meeting.He said: ?They fired on us from the outside. It was the same intention as (the January 7 attack) on Charlie Hebdo except they didn?t manage to get in.?Intuitively I would say there were at least 50 gunshots, and the police here are saying 200.?Bullets went through the doors and everyone threw themselves to the floor. We managed to flee the room, and now we?re staying inside because it?s still dangerous.?The attackers haven?t been caught and they could very well still be in the neighbourhood.?Meanwhile, social media accounts believed to be linked to Islamist fanatics claimed last month that Denmark would be the target of a terrorist attack.Sweden?s security police said Swedish bodyguards were with Vilks at the time of the shooting.Authorities in southern Sweden said they were helping Danish police in the hunt for the gunmen. Sweden is joined to Denmark by bridge, and transit across is largely unchecked – sparking fears they may have followed Mr Vilks into the country in an assassination attempt.However, Helle Merete Brix, one of the organisers of the event,[url=http://www.salecheapjerseys.us@#$%&/]NFL Jerseys China Wholesale[/url], said Mr Vilks, 68, had not been injured.?I clearly consider this as an attack on Lars Vilks,? she added, saying she was ushered away with Mr Vilks by one of the Danish police guards.British Prime Minister David Cameron last night sent a message of support to Denmark on Twitter and said: ?I condemn the shootings in Copenhagen. Freespech must always be protected. My thoughts are with the Danish people?Mr Vilks is an outspoken supporter for the need for freedom of speech.In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo masscare, Mr Vilks complained even fewer organizations were inviting him to give lectures over increased security concerns.Vilks also said he thought Sweden?s SAPO security service, which deploys bodyguards to protect him, would step up the security around him.?This will create fear among people on a whole different level than we?re used to,? he said.?Charlie Hebdo was a small oasis. Not many dared do what they did.?It was a Danish paper which first found itself in serious trouble for printing a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed in 2005, causing several attacks on Danish embassies in the Middle East.French president Francois Hollande said in a statement several people may have been wounded and that Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve would go to Copenhagen as soon as possible.In a statement, President Hollande called the shooting ?deplorable? and said Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt would have the ?full solidarity of France in this trial.?French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius condemned what he called a ?terrorist attack? in a separate statement.
