Cartoonist rebuke for Danish security

Lars Vilks, the Swedish cartoonist understood to have been a primary target of one of last weekend’s deadly Copenhagen shootings, has rounded on Danish police, whom he claimed had vastly underestimated the terror threat posed to the city.

“The attacker had good weapons, he had better weapons than the police,” said Vilks, 68, who has been in hiding since the shootings at the weekend.

“There was an escalation since the Charlie Hebdo attacks and the Danes had not caught onto that.”
