Reprisal killings in Nigeria saw a Christian mob brutally murdering 18 Muslim youth from the Hausas tribe. The Christians were angered by the destruction of several churches by Muslim mobs incensed by the Danish cartoons that depicted Prophet Mohammed in distasteful manner. Thousands of Muslims fled their homes and took refuge in police barracks and protected public buildings. EU authorities said that extremists claiming reprisals for the cartoons attacked its aid workers in Darfur, Sudan recently. A Pakistani cleric Yousaf Qureshi offered up to USD 1 million to kill the Danish cartoonists and claimed that several people had volunteered for the job. Opposition parties and some Muslim groups protested the publication of some cartoons in a Government linked paper in Malaysia. A small Belarus paper, Weekly Zgoda, evoked official anger for printing these offensive cartoons.
