Norway shuts down anti-Bush site

OSLO, Norway, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- Norwegian police have shut down a satirical web site that called for the assassination of U.S. President George Bush, newspaper Aftenposten reported Thursday: Norway shuts down anti-Bush site

The name of the website was http://killhim.nu/ (kill him now). Rap group Gatas Parlament say no one was actually threatening the president's life, and that the American authorities have "no sense of humour".

Norwegian newspaper, Dagsavisen says (in Norwegian): "That there is little room for freedom of expression in the USA is something American artists have felt in the last years. But that freedom of expression in Norway is being put under pressure by the USA, is testimony of a new form of aggressive arrogance."
