Nine men have been arrested in Denmark suspected of planning terrorist attacks, the Danish intelligence service PET said in what the second major anti-terrorism raid in less than a year.
Danish Justice Minister Lene Espersen told Danish television TV2 the terrorist case was "the most serious in the country".
Note this:
The identity of the new detainees was not revealed, but authorities said they were aged 18 to 33 and arrested during a police raid overnight in the heavily immigrant-populated neighbourhood of Vollsmose in the town of Odense.
Seems covering up for Muslims is all the rage these days. But here's a clue:
Abu Bashar, an imam in the Vollsmose neighbourhood who knows several of the suspects personally, said the arrests did not come as a surprise, and that he felt the alleged terrorist attacks were linked to Denmark's participation in the war in Iraq.
Charles has several updates with lots more information including this interesting bit about an imam who had one of the terrorists phone number.
Abu Bashar is one of the Danish imams who toured the Islamic world whipping up a killing frenzy over the Danish Mohammed cartoons.
