"Officials gave no details about the alleged plot, but said the two had already acquired explosive material.
Another six people of immigrant origin were briefly detained during a series of raids in and around Copenhagen, but were released after questioning. "
No details? The first paragraph says they are linked to al Qaeda. And buried in the BBC report we are told this:
"We [Jakob Scharf Danish police intelligence agency] would describe the main suspects as militant Islamists with international contacts, including leading members of al-Qaeda," he added. "
Compare the BBC's headline "Denmark arrests 'bomb' suspects " with the London Times "Danish 'terror plot' foiled with arrests". Also look at the Times first paragraph.
"Danish authorities said that plans to launch terror attacks had been foiled as a result of the arrests yesterday of eight alleged Islamic militants with links to al-Qa'eda."
While the BBC tries to downplay the Islamic terror plot the Times gives you the truth.
