Denmark Officials Arrest 9 in Terror Raid
Iranian media provided this possible connection... "German media reported last week that one of two suspects who is accused of planting bombs on two regional trains in Germany on July 31, was arrested by police as he was on his way to meet a Muslim leader in Odense, Denmark."
9 Muslim youths were arrested in Odense, Denmark earlier today.
Denmark officials arrested 9 Muslim men under age 30 on suspicion of planning terror attacks:
Danish police have arrested nine suspected terrorists, the country's security intelligence service announced on Tuesday. The nine, all believed to be men under the age of 30, were detained in overnight raids on Denmark's third largest city of Odense. All had been under surveillance "for some time," and were detained on suspicion of planning terrorist acts.
The arrests happened in the Odense suburb of Vollsmose, Lars Findsen, head of the Danish Security Intelligence Service (Pet) was quoted as saying. He said the suspects "had acquired material ... to build explosives in connection with the preparation of a terror act".
Denmark last month charged five people under its new tougher anti-terror laws, passed in 2002. Anyone convicted of inciting acts of terrorism or advising terrorists now faces up to six years in jail.
Four Muslim youths, aged between 16 and 20, were arrested on 28 October 2005 in the Danish capital, Copenhagen. They were charged with attempting to prepare a terrorist act and helping two others to go to Bosnia the same month to collect explosives for use in "an imminent attack" on a European capital. At least one has Danish nationality and the other three grew up in Denmark.
The four men arrested in Denmark were in "close contact" with a 19-year-old Swede originally from Serbia, known as 'Maximus' and an 18-year-old Danish Turk arrested on 19 October in the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo on suspicion of planning a suicide bomb attack on an embassy in a European country - possiblly the British or American embassy in Sarajevo.

TVNZ has more:
"PET have told me that they arrested the men now because it could be difficult to discover more precisely how far the plans had progressed," she said.Odense had reported problems in the past with Muslim youths attacking taxi drivers in the city.
"We have uncovered evidence that suggests that some of the persons were in the process of preparing for a terrorist attack," PET director Lars Findsen said.
Captain Ed shares his thoughts on the arrests.
Charles Johnson reports on the strange Abu Bashar connection.
Update: 7 were arraigned in court later today. Two were released. Imam, Abu Bashar, said the suspects were Muslims... No kidding!

Wake up world before it is too late.
Well, I question the timing.
Since right now is... right now, and thus especially important to Bushitler.
Sadly, I just don't see any other way this war can end before 5 million Westerners and 100 million Muslims have died - a total greater than WW2 or the Cold War.
Perhaps this is just nature's 'creative destruction' cycle.
Hey, haven't you gotten the memo?
All this attention on Islamist terrorism is just so much bigoted fearmongering that makes Muslims uncomfortable and isolated. Islam's increasingly shabby image is the result of bad press; and any increase in suspicion by the rest of us after decades of murder and mayhem emanating from the Muslim world is entirely unwarranted.
On the other hand, global media's non-stop show trial of the U.S. has nothing to do with rabid anti-Americanism. That's all Bush's fault.
sarcasm off.
Perhaps time to get the Danes another Raven Banner. This entire cross-business has just gotten them too pacified for survival.
