LONDON (Reuters) - Police charged three men with public order offences on Wednesday after they took part in a demonstration in London over the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad by European media.

They were charged after hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the Danish embassy in the capital on February 3, chanting and waving placards.

Some of those on the march had waved banners praising the July 7 London bombings which killed 52 people on the transport network last year.

3? 3?

Sounds like a token effort to me, to appease people. Or is it that they have no idea who the others were, because they had their faces covered.

I've heard that they're investigating about 20 people in total.

I read in the Times that they want to investigate at least 22 individuals, but have only been able to identify 4 so far.

Anything to do with the fact they had their faces covered and the Police didn't arrest them on the day? Idiots.
