Gunmen take over Gaza EU office to protest at cartoons
30/01/2006 - 08:16:36Masked gunmen today took over an office used by the European Union to protest at the publication of cartoons deemed insulting to Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.
About five gunmen stormed the building, closing the office down, while 10 other armed men stood watch outside.
One of the militants said they were protesting at the drawings, published last September in the Danish paper Jyllands-Posten.
The caricatures have sparked a wave of denunciations across the Islamic world.
