I'm sorry, says editor at centre of cartoon row

THE editor of a Christian newspaper in Norway has apologised for offending Muslims by reprinting caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.

At a news conference, Magazinet editor Vebjoern Selbekk said he regretted publishing the cartoons on January 10 because he had not foreseen the anger they would cause Muslims.

"I reach out personally to the Muslim community to say that I am sorry that their religious feelings were violated by what we did," Mr Selvik said.
