"Danish Police Arrest 9 Terror Suspects"
By JAN M. OLSEN Associated Press Writer

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police in Denmark on Tuesday arrested nine people suspected of plotting a terror attack with materials they acquired to build explosives, intelligence officials said.

The arrests occurred overnight in Vollsmose, a mostly immigrant suburb west of Odense, Denmark's third-largest city.

Lars Findsen, head of the Danish Security Intelligence Service, said the suspects had acquired materials to build explosives "in connection with the preparation of a terror act," without elaborating. He did not reveal the planned target of the attack and said it was hard to evaluate how far the plot had come along.

Findsen said the suspects _ comprised of ethnic Danes and immigrants aged between 18 and 33 _ would face a custody hearing later Tuesday.

"With the general terror situation, the Danish Security Intelligence Service didn't want to run any unnecessary risk," he said.

Justice Minister Lene Espersen said the group had been under surveillance for some time. "It is that surveillance that is the basis for the arrests," she said in a statement.

Denmark raised its terror preparedness after the attacks on London's transit system in July 2005 and the protests across the Middle East and Asia earlier this year over controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that were first published in a Danish newspaper.

Tuesday's arrests would not prompt the Scandinavian country to raise its terror alert again, Findsen said."


The sweep came nearly two weeks after four young Muslims were charged in Copenhagen in connection with a Bosnian terror probe. Investigators said the network planned to blow up a target in a European country to force the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan and Iraq."
