Irish police free 3 in alleged artist murder plot
March 13, 2010 04:51 EST
DUBLIN (AP) -- Irish police say three Muslims arrested over an alleged plot to assassinate Swedish artist Lars Vilks have been freed without charge, but three men and an American woman remain in custody.
Police said Saturday that the four can be held until Tuesday and then must be charged or released.
Six men -- three Algerians, a Libyan, a Palestinian, a Croatian -- and the American woman who is married to one of the Algerians, were arrested Tuesday in Ireland hours before U.S. authorities unveiled a terror indictment against a 46-year-old Philadelphia woman, Colleen LaRose.
LaRose -- who billed herself as "Jihad Jane" in a 2008 YouTube video -- is accused of plotting with others to kill Vilks because of his 2007 sketch depicting the head of the Muslim prophet Muhammad on a dog's body.
