Now we know why Denmark cut itself off from Germany and Sweden and launched a massive security operation in September. It wasn’t against an ISIS-style terror attack, but against an Iranian plot to murder Ahwaz activists.
The plot caused Copenhagen to close its bridges. Now the full story can be told and it may rock Europe and EU relations with Iran. Denmark’s ambassador is on the way home from Tehran. Iran’s pro-government Fars News is complaining about a bias against Iran, denying Iran had anything to do with the plot. Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen described the suspected plot as “totally unacceptable”
Here is the story of how Iranian agents plotted to assassinate a leader of a dissident group that fights for the fights of Arabs in southwest Iran. A Norwegian citizen of Iranian origin allegedly travelled to Sweden and was arrested on October 21. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo thanked Denmark’s government for arresting the “Iranian regime assassin” on Tuesday.
Only one perpetrator was arrested for the plot, that we know of. Finn Borch Andersen, the head of the Politiets Efterretningstjeneste, the national security and intelligence agency of Denmark, said “This is a case that entails an Iranian intelligence operation in Denmark, In our view, it was an Iranian intelligence agency’s plan to assassinate a person who lives in Denmark.” Working with Norway and Swedish intelligence, the PET sought an assassin who is allegedly of Iranian origin but has Norwegian citizenship.
He was tracked to Sweden in October where he was arrested on October 21 and extradited to Denmark. The case stems from an emergency in September in Denmark as police searched for a Swedish car that was thought to be conducting surveillance on members of Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz (ASMLA)..

I've not heard a word about this assassination plot anywhere in the news. It is stated that Pompeo thanked them for exposing this plot by the Iranian Government.
Assassination plots like this is not an uncommon practice in Europe. Turkey has been accused of doing this in Germany and they succeeded in murdering 3 Kurdish women in exile in Paris.
You say "no way"? Yes it happens. And Turkey is tracking individuals in the US who criticize Turkey. In some cases they target not only X pat Turks, but simply vocal US citizens who criticize Turkey's actions.
Yep, for about a year in Paris the city halls had pictures of these murdered Kurds.
Denmark says it foiled Iranian assassination plot

Totalitarian states are all paranoid. (and in need of hemorrhoid treatment too.)
That reads like the synopsis of a certain Frederick Forsyth novel...
It would only take a few bombs to kill off the Iranian leadership. Do this and no nuclear bombs which the Iranians will definitely use to murder millions.
Yes. That is possible.
It is above my pay grade to determine if it is acceptable.
It is good when the plot is exposed and arrests are made before the assassinations take place.
De Gaulle certainly must’ve been happy (in the novel I alluded to)...;)
China also considers even 2nd or third US chinese generation as owned by them.
Well, I bet those who live in the West want no part of going back to China.
