'COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Police in Denmark and Sweden halted an imminent terrorist attack Wednesday by arresting five men who planned to shoot as many people as possible in a building housing the newsroom of a paper that published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, officials said.

Denmark's intelligence service said that after months of surveillance it arrested four men in two raids in suburbs of the capital, Copenhagen, and seized a submachine gun, a silencer and ammunition. Swedish police said they arrested a 37-year-old Swedish citizen of Tunisian origin living in Stockholm.

"An imminent terror attack has been foiled," said Jakob Scharf, head of the Danish Security and Intelligence Service, or PET. He described some the suspects as "militant Islamists with relations to international terror networks" and said that more arrests were possible.

PET said it seized a 44-year-old Tunisian, a 29-year-old Lebanese-born man and a 30-year-old who were living in Sweden and had entered Denmark late Tuesday or early Wednesday. The fourth person detained was a 26-year-old Iraqi asylum-seeker living in Copenhagen.'

1. religious nuts...oh wait is that an oxymoron ? been doing that for 1600 years nt

[Taitertots]

6. 1600 years? Islam didn't exist 1600 years ago

Other non-islamic religious nuts have been doing other equally nutty things for 6000+ years.

Where did the 1600 year number come from?

9. right. because a few crazies are representative of most Muslims.

the bigotry in this thread makes me sick.

[Rebubula]

10. I am an equal opp bigot...

...against anyone that professes that they are favored by a deity and oppress others based on that supposed superiority.

I am biased against muslims, jews, christians, scientologists and anyone else that buys into a sky fairy watching over and controlling us.

Sick is 2000 plus years of war, oppression and basic violence and hatred due to man's desire to explain away mystery and establish dominance over others.

14. Hinduism, Judaism and Christianity also pose the same sort of risks...

But the greatest risk to civil rights and liberties worldwide is the US. Or do they get a pass because they're not a religion?

15. Nationalism is a religion

Just with deeper pockets and bigger guns!

3. Some people can really hold onto a grudge.

BTW, who decided that portrayals of "Teh Profit" were against Islam? They could be raking in some mad licensing fees.

The Catholics should be an inspiration.

5. Good police work and defense of civil liberties. Great story.

This is a helluva lot cheaper and more effective than deployment of thousands of troops and hundred of drone strikes.

7. Religion in action.

The really sad part is that some of our homegrown lunatics look at these guys and think they've got the right idea.
