Al-Qaeda Comes to Denmark by Flemming Rose
After months of surveillance and close cooperation with Europol and other foreign intelligence services Danish police yesterday arrested eight young men age 19 to 29, who according to the police were in the process of planning a terrorist attack.
“The key figures must be characterized as militant Islamists with international connections including direct connections with leading members of Al Qaeda,” said Jacob Scharff, head of Denmark’s domestic intelligence service (PET).
“This underlines our impression that Al Qaeda after a period of decline has recovered and is able to conduct terrorist attacks against the West including Denmark,” Scharff added.
