Last Thursday Danish authorities arrested 22 terrorism suspects in early morning raids across the country. Reports from Israel suggest that the raids were carried out following a tip from Israeli intelligence.
The 22 suspects
include men and women. Danish police said they were involved in the
final stages of a plot to carry out attacks “in Denmark or abroad”, but
have provided no specific information, except to say that the attacks
were “thwarted” while they were well underway.
Danish media reported
that the early-morning raids by police and intelligence personnel
resulted in the arrest of 22 individuals. These have not yet been named
in accordance with Denmark’s strict privacy laws. Among them are four
men between 21 and 25 years of age, and a 38-year-old woman. All were
remanded in a court in Copenhagen on Thursday and Friday of last week. A
sixth individual, aged 28, was remanded to custody separately from the
other five. His hearing was reportedly held in secret, and no
information other than his age and gender has been made public.
The six
suspects are accused of trying to build bombs using triacetone
triperoxide (TATP) explosive. They are also accused of trying to
purchase guns, ammunition and sound suppressors, commonly known as
silencers. Danish police said the suspects planned to use the explosives
and guns “in connection with one or more terrorist attacks inside
Denmark or abroad”. However, no further information has been provided
about the targets of the alleged terrorist plot.
Meanwhile on Saturday, Israel’s Channel 12 television claimed
that the Danish counter-terrorism raids were sparked by information
provided to Danish authorities by the Mossad, Israel’s primary external
intelligence agency. The channel, a popular privately owned television
station, did not provide evidence of the claim, or any specific
information about the alleged intelligence tip.
Danish police
said on Monday that 16 of those arrested last week have been released,
but remain suspects in the investigation. The remaining six suspects all
pleaded not guilty to charges of terrorism on Saturday. They will
remain in prison on pre-trial custody while the authorities continue to
investigate the alleged terrorist plot.
