Swedish caricaturist now lives in hiding

Swedish artist Lars Vilks, presumed wounded by two bullets fired at him in Copenhagen, is now living in a secret location, Swedish police announces.

“His hometown of Höganäs (in the south of Sweden) is not a place where he is safe. And he needs to be in a safe place,” says police spokeswoman Ewa-Gun Westford of the artist. Vilks has been living with police protection ever seen he made a drawing of the prophet Muhammad with the body of a dog.
