Protesters firebomb danish embassy in tehran { February 7 2006 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://calsun.canoe.ca/News/World/2006/02/07/1429369-sun.html http://calsun.canoe.ca/News/World/2006/02/07/1429369-sun.html Tue, February 7, 2006 Embassy firebombed Cops use tear gas to repel anti-Danish demo in Tehran By AP TEHRAN, Iran -- Hundreds of angry protesters hurled stones and firebombs at the Danish Embassy in the Iranian capital yesterday to protest against publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. Police used tear gas and surrounded the walled villa to hold back the crowd. Earlier, 200 student demonstrators threw stones at the Austrian Embassy, breaking windows and starting small fires. The mission was targeted because Austria holds the presidency of the European Union. Thousands more people joined violent demonstrations across the world to protest publication of the caricatures, and the U.S. administration appealed to Saudi Arabia to use its influence among Arabs to help ease tensions in the Middle East and Europe. Afghan troops shot and killed four protesters, some as they tried to storm a U.S. military base outside Bagram, the first time a protest over the issue has targeted the U.S. A teenage boy was killed when protesters stampeded in Somalia. The EU issued stern reminders to 18 Arab and other Muslim countries that they are under treaty obligations to protect foreign embassies. Lebanon apologized to Denmark, where the cartoons were first published, a day after protesters set fire to a building housing the Danish mission in Beirut. The boycott of Danish goods called by Islamic countries in response to the caricatures is estimated to be costing Danish businesses more than $1 million a day. So far, Arla Foods, one of Europe's largest dairy companies, is suffering most, but the effects could spread. Steen Bocian, a chief analyst with Danske Bank, said Danish goods are threatened in 20 Muslim countries, representing $1.6 billion annually. In 2004, Denmark's exports worldwide amounted to $73 billion, with 25% of that from dairy products, he said. Saudi Arabians began the boycott Jan. 26 after a flurry of cellphone text messages were sent calling for the move and supermarkets either put up signs saying to stop buying Danish goods or removed products from their shelves. Also yesterday, members of Iran's parliament warned that those who published the cartoons should remember the case of Salman Rushdie, the British author against whom the late Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a death warrant for Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses.
