Baku-APA. A Swedish prosecutor has charged two men with arson for the attempted attack on the home of an artist whose cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad infuriated some Muslims, APA reports quoting news.yahoo.com website.

Prosecutor Eva-Marie Persson says evidence links a 19-year-old and his 21-year-old brother to the attack at Lars Vilks’ home in southern Sweden where police discovered gasoline bottles and fire damage.

Persson presented the evidence to the Helsingborg District Court on Thursday. The men have denied the charges.

The Swedish artist has faced threats because of his cartoons, and U.S. investigators say he was the target of a murder plot.
