Denmark’s top prosecutor said today he won’t press charges against the newspaper that first published the Prophet Mohammed cartoons that angered Muslims worldwide.

Director of Public Prosecutions Henning Fode upheld the decision of a regional prosecutor.

The regional prosecutor ruled the drawings published in Jyllands-Posten did not violate Danish law. Fode’s decision cannot be appealed.
