Lars Vilks

There is so far no sign of foul play in the car crash that killed Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who lived under protection after his 2007 depiction of the Prophet Mohammed prompted death threats, police said Monday.

Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks on Saturday made his first public appearance in Copenhagen after surviving an attack last month in the Danish capital, local media reported.

His public appearances are cancelled, friends shy away and he is confined to a safehouse but Swedish artist Lars Vilks, twice targeted by Islamist assasins, says he has no regrets even though he feels that those who wish him dead are winning.

The White House on Saturday denounced the deadly shooting in the Danish capital of Copenhagen as "deplorable", pledging help needed for the investigation into the double attack which claimed two lives.

A civilian was killed and three police were wounded on Saturday in shooting at a meeting in Copenhagen attended by Lars Vilks, an artist who has received death threats since publishing images of the Prophet Mohammad.

Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who stirred controversy in 2007 with published drawings of Prophet Mohammad, has had security around him tightened after Wednesday's attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris.

The recent arrest of two white Americans allegedly involved in a plot to assassinate Swedish cartoonist, Lars Vilks has put the spotlight once again on the debate over racial profiling on the basis of skin colour or nationality.
