[Berlingske.dk] A major police operation in several of the country's police districts is about preparing for a terrorist attack with a "militant, Islamist motive", the Copenhagen Police said. A major police action in several of the country's police districts is about preparing for a terrorist attack with a "militant, Islamist motive", it is now from the Copenhagen Police. A terrorist attack with a "militant, Islamist motive" has been under preparation, according to police. That's the reason for a major police action in several locations in the country on Wednesday afternoon. This is stated by the Copenhagen Police in a brief press release: "The reason for the action is the suspicion of preparing for terrorist attacks with a militant, Islamist motive." At a press conference at 17, the Copenhagen Police and the Police Intelligence Service (PET) are expected to tell in more detail. Earlier in the afternoon, the report from the Copenhagen Police, in collaboration with several other police circles - North Jutland Police, Central and West Jutland Police, Funen Police, Mid- and West Zealand Police and Vestegnens Police - was under investigation and arrests in several places in the country. According to Ekstra Bladet, among other things, a number of college residences on Stormgade in Aalborg and, according to Nordjyske, an address on Ravnkildevej in Aalborg East have been searched. B.T. writes that two men of Middle Eastern appearance wearing white DNA suits in Aalborg were carried away by combat officers. According to B.T. addresses in Herlev have also been searched. In addition, an apartment in Husum northwest of Copenhagen has been searched. The same applies to an address at Rydevænget in Aarhus V. The latest assessment of the terror threat against Denmark from the Police Intelligence Service, PET, was published in January 2018. Here, PET's Center for Terror Analysis, CTA, describes the threat of militant Islamism like this: »The CTA considers that the terrorist threat to Denmark comes mainly from people with sympathy for militant Islamism. These are motivated by a perception that Islam is under attack from the West and that Denmark is a legitimate target as a result of Denmark's active foreign and security policy, including participation in the international coalition against IS, and perceived violations of Islam, such as the drawing case. « The analysis continued: “The CTA considers that the terrorist threat is primarily based on individuals or small groups living in Denmark or in a neighboring country. Simple means and short planning attacks are the most likely form of attack. However, there is still a threat to Denmark from complex attacks directed by militant Islamist groups abroad, albeit reduced. " Posted by: si vis pacem 2019-12-12 |
