taz to the identity of the man who was killed this morning. however, the head of the deposit mark's intelligence service said it was unlikely he had trained abroad but he had been on their radar screen for quite some time. the headline however, this morning was that that the police had, after some 14 hours since the first attack, got their man. and that was the news this morning. >> it looks and feels like a city under siege. police remain vigilant after what's being described as their biggest ever operation in recent history. the danish prime minister thanked them on sunday morning and said it was time for the country to come together. >> we are not in a war between islam and the west. this is not a war between muslims and non-muslims. this is a war between freedom from all and a dark ideology. >> it all started here on

saturday afternoon at a cafe holding a discussion on free speech. a caricaturist who depicted the prophet mohammed as a dog was the main guest. the discussion ended when had a gunman fired some 40 bullets through the window killing one man before driving away. hours later, the attack continued at a synagogue where police say the same man opened fire killing a security guard and injuring two police officers. it all ended here, some 14 hours after it began with a shoot-out which killed a man police wanted to question about the attacks. police said cctv images helped them trace and locate them. on sunday morning, they said they had got their man. >> translator: we are working under the assumption it was the same perpetrator behind both shooting incidents. they also work under the assumption that the one shot this morning was a person who carried out these attacks. however, there are a lot of loose ends that need to be tied up.

publication of the caricatures, the prophet mohammed which set off major international tensions led to danish embassies being stalked. 200 people were killed mainly in muslim countries and led to a series of death threats against the caricaturist who took part in this issue of the newspaper. so people have been watching other attacks in other european cities over the years and saying, you know, when will it be our turn? and the intelligence services certainly have been well aware there were threats against this country because of that incident. and the time has come it would seem according to the head of the danish intelligence who said in a press conference today end the charlie hebdocaricature attacks were the inspiration for what happened these past few days. the feeling of relief that

international community will give them the support and the legitimacy in order to make this something that will be a game-changer because as it stands now the balance of power is skewed in favor of the houthis in control of the capitol. if there is some sort of recognition from the
