Danes Thwart Bomb Plot in Copenhagen

(Copenhagen, Denmark) With sketchy details, it's reported that Danish Police intelligence service (PET) arrested several people early today for planning a bomb attack somewhere in Copenhagen.

"The arrests are the result of prolonged surveillance of the persons concerned who are suspected of preparing a terrorist act with the use of explosives," PET said in a statement received by AFP.

The arrests were carried out around the Danish capital.

PET did not say how many people were under arrest or give their nationalities.

I'll make a wild stab and guess that those arrested were Muslim.


[Update]

From BBC:

The eight suspects arrested late on Monday in Copenhagen form part of a terror cell with links to a senior al-Qaeda figure, police said.

The suspects, aged between 19 and 29, were of Afghan, Pakistani, Somali and Turkish origin, police said.

Apparently, my stab wasn't so wild.
