Arsonists on Saturday attacked the home of Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, whose depiction of the Prophet Mohammed in 2007 sparked numerous threats against him.
The facade of the building was lightly damaged, a police spokeswoman told SR radio. Neither Vilks, nor anyone else was in at the time of the incident at the house in a secluded part of southern Sweden.
The artist became the subject of repeated threats in 2007, when he depicted the Muslim prophet as a dog.
Earlier this week, Vilks was attacked during a public lecture at Uppsala University. Vilks said a man leapt up from the front row of the lecture hall and head-butted him on Tuesday.
