Copenhagen - The Danish Union of Journalists said Thursday it wanted damages from two Danish anti-Islam groups that used a newspaper cartoonist's work without his permission.

Acting on behalf of newspaper cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, the union said it wanted 200,000 kroner (42.000 dollars) in damages for the illegal use of the cartoon that depicted the prophet Mohammed with a bomb in his turban.

It was published on websites and placards in connection with a protest in March, despite a court order.
