Bobbi Kristina's problems 'out of control'
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- A man charged with trying to kill a Danish cartoonist was arrested last year in an alleged plot to harm U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, officials said.
The 28-year-old Somali suspect, whose name has not been released, was arrested late Friday for allegedly breaking into the home of Kurt Westergaard, a cartoonist in Aarhus, Denmark.
Westergaard, 74, had angered many Muslims with a series of cartoons of the prophet Mohammed, including one with a bomb sticking out of a turban.
The suspect was one of four people arrested last summer in Nairobi in an alleged plot to harm Clinton during her tour of African countries, the newspaper Politken reported.
The suspect was released from a Kenyan jail in September because of a lack of evidence and returned to Denmark, where he had been living, Sky News reported Sunday.
The man, who was wounded by police Friday at Westergaard's home, may have had links to a Somali terror group and al-Qaida leaders in East Africa, Danish intelligence officials said.
