TEHRAN, IRAN (AP):

One of Iran's biggest newspapers yesterday called for artists to submit caricatures of the Nazi Holocaust, saying it wants to target a subject as taboo in the West as the Prophet Muhammad is for Muslims.

Violent protests over the caricatures of the prophet published in a European newspaper erupted for a second straight day in Tehran, where around 50 demonstrators hurled stones and firebombs at the Norwegian Embassy. A small fire outside the embassy was quickly contained.
