Tehran, Feb 5, SPA -- Iran said on Sunday it has recalled its ambassador to Denmark over the publication of cartoons depicting Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). "Iran has summoned its ambassador in Denmark to Tehran," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told a news conference. "Freedoms should be accompanied by responsibility". Denmark's largest newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, ran 12 cartoons last September, which have now been reprinted in Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Hungary, New Zealand, Norway and Poland. Iran said on Saturday it was forming a committee to review trade ties with the countries that printed the cartoons, according to a report of Reuters. --SPA 12 04 Local Time 09 04 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/323735
