Tintin museum cancels Hebdo tribute amid fears
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Belgian museum dedicated to the creator of comic book hero Tintin says that security concerns prompted it to cancel an exhibition honoring the murdered Charlie Hebdo magazine cartoonists.
The museum in Louvain-la-Neuve near Brussels says it took the decision after consulting Wednesday with police who foiled an Islamist plot in Belgium last week, which followed the jihadist attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris.
“The police presented us with the nature of the potential risks we need to be attentive to,” says Nick Rodwell, director of the museum dedicated to the memory and works of Herge.
