Danish security police Tuesday arrested nine suspects on suspicion of plotting a terror attack after surveillance showed several of the men had collected bombmaking material, Justice Minister Lene Espersen said Tuesday.
At 2 a.m. Tuesday an anti-terror squad carried out a raid in Vollsmose, an immigrant district in Odense. The suspects appeared at a closed hearing Tuesday. Two were released, and the others were charged with plotting terrorism acts.
No details were released. Investigators said it was too early to know how far the suspects’ plans had progressed. “With the general terror situation, the Danish Security Intelligence Service didn’t want to run any unnecessary risk,” said Lars Findsen, the service’s chief.
