丹麦情报部门说,他们逮捕了四名卷入策划针对《日德兰邮报》的“迫在眉睫”恐怖袭击的人。2005年,这份报纸刊登了有争议的先知穆罕默德的漫画,从那以来,它一直是恐怖攻击的目标。丹麦情报部门的负责人沙尔夫形容这些嫌疑人是“激进的伊斯兰主义者。” 他在一份声明中说,这群人策划强行进入这份报纸在哥本哈根的办公大楼,“尽可能的杀死更多的人”。

丹麦官员说,四名被捕男子是44岁的突尼斯人、29岁的黎巴嫩人、寻求庇护的伊拉克人和一名来历不明的人。其中三人在邻国瑞典有居留权。瑞典警方逮捕了第五名男子,他是在突尼斯出生的瑞典公民,据信他卷入了这起阴谋。美联社援引丹麦总理拉斯姆森的话说,这个消息令他感到震惊,但恐怖主义不会导致丹麦改变其价值观。这些嫌疑人因试图实施恐怖行动的初步指控,将于星期四出庭受审。

Denmark's intelligence service says it has arrested four people linked to "international terrorist networks" plotting an "imminent" terrorist attack against the Jyllands-Posten newspaper. The Danish paper has been the target of attacks since 2005 when it printed controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The head of the intelligence agency, Jakob Scharf, described the suspects as "militant Islamists." Scharf said in a statement that the suspects had planned to force their way into the newspaper's building in Copenhagen and "kill as many people as possible." 

Danish officials said the four arrested are a 44-year-old Tunisian, a 29-year-old born in Lebanon, an Iraqi asylum-seeker and a fourth man whose origin was not yet clear. Three of them are residents of neighboring Sweden. Police in Sweden arrested a fifth man, a Swedish citizen of Tunisian origin believed to be part of the plot. Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen is quoted by the Associated Press as saying he was "shocked" by the news, but that terrorism would not lead the country to change its values. The suspects will face a custody hearing on Thursday on preliminary charges of attempting to carry out an act of terrorism.
