Danish editor rejects resignation suggestion

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper whose cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed sparked a worldwide furore today said he had no plans to resign over the issue.

The statement by Carsten Juste, editor of the newspaper Jyllands-Posten, came after former Foreign Minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen said on national radio that: “When an editor-in-chief admits he made an erroneous judgment … he should quit.”
