Danish papers tighten security

terror attack on
the Paris offices of
the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which
left 12 dead and scores injured, has led to a tightening of security at media offices in Denmark.
The Danish publishing
house JP/Politiken Hus –
which publishes the newspapers
Jyllands-Posten,
Ekstra Bladet and Politiken
– has increased the security
at its offices in Copenhagen
and in Jutland.
”We have beefed up our
security because of the terror attack on Charlie Hebdo,” the publishing house
wrote in a statement to DR
Nyheder. ”The police have
also increased their presence
at our addresses at Rådhuspladsen and in Viby.”
JP/Politiken Hus’s security is already tight thanks
to the Mohammed cartoons
that Jyllands-Posten originally published in 2005,
which Charlie Hebdo reprinted in 2007.
