Controversial


Just watching the BBC News Channel. They are leading with the terrorist attack on the free speech seminar in Copenhagen. 

Neither the BBC presenter nor the reporter (Rob Broomby) are speculating as to who might have carried out the attack. They are saying it's about "intimidation" and "intolerance" though.  

The BBC are being very clear about one thing though: that the likely target of the attack, Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, is controversial. The word "controversial" was used about him four times within the space of three minutes.
