The paper's offices in both the northern town of Aarhus and in downtown Copenhagen were evacuated in the evening, according to an AFP reporter at the scene in Copenhagen. "At approximately three minutes past five, an English-speaking person gave a message that there would be a bomb attack at the Jyllands-Posten offices 10 minutes after," Copenhagen police spokesman Flemming Munch told AFP, adding that the threat had been called in. "The newspaper itself took the decision to evacuate the two offices," he said, adding that police with bomb-sniffing dogs were being sent in to search the paper's Copenhagen office, where some 50 people work. Danish news agency Ritzau and foreign correspondents who work in the same building were also evacuated and could not return to the building until 7:45 pm (1845 GMT), AFP observed. Jyllands-Posten reported on its website that dogs were also used at the Aarhus offices, where some 300 people were evacuated until just after 6:30 pm (1730 GMT). Also on Tuesday, the paper reported that hackers had been trying to shut down its website, with more than 80,000 emails flooding the its inboxes, but that technicians had managed to ward off the attack. The bomb threat and hacker attacks came as Muslim anger over 12 cartoons published in Jyllands-Posten last September depicting the Prophet Mohammed boiled over into a diplomatic crisis threatening Danish trade relations with the Muslim world. Reports of Danish flag-burnings, protest rallies, boycotts, and threats against Scandinavians in Muslim countries have flourished in recent days, and both Jyllands-Posten and a Norwegian Christian magazine that republished the drawings earlier this month have received death threats. The editor-in-chief of Jyllands-Posten, Carsten Juste, told Danish news agency Ritzau that the bomb threat was an attack on democracy. "It is an attack on the freedom of the press and against one of democracy's most important prerequisites, the free word," Juste said. -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
