The Somali man accused of attempting to kill Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard was held over a foiled terrorist plot in Kenya, a Danish newspaper reported.

The 28-year-old was arrested over a planned attack on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her visit to Africa last summer.

The newspaper Politiken reported that he and four other suspects were held over a plot against a bus station and two hotels in Nairobi.

He was released in September due to a lack of evidence and returned to Denmark.

The man was carried into a court in Aarhus on a stretcher yesterday to face two charges of attempted manslaughter following the break-in at Westergaard's home.

He denied the charges and was remanded in custody.

The suspect was shot twice by police outside Westergaard's home while armed with an axe and a knife.

Westergaard's 2005 cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad ignited riots and outrage across the Muslim world.
