Lars Hedegaard Escapes Jihadist Assassination Attempt:
"Miraculously, the gunman missed – just barely. While he fumbled with his
weapon, trying to get off another shot, Lars acted fast, striking his
assailant, who dropped the gun. Lars tried to shut the door, but the
perpetrator stuck his foot in and managed to push it open again and to
pick up his pistol. The two men struggled, and the goon finally took it
on the lam."
"Afterwards, Lars told an interviewer that he was not scared
but angry – angry to have been attacked in his own country, obviously
for the offense of speaking his mind (and the truth).
“If they think
they can scare me, they’re thoroughly mistaken,” he said.
