2010-12-31 |
[Maghrebia] A Tunisian national is among four alleged gunnies arraigned Thursday (December 30th) in Copenhagen on charges of plotting to attack the Danish newspaper that published controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. A fifth suspect, a 37-year-old Swedish-Tunisian, was jugged in Stockholm. According to Danish intelligence agency PET, the suspects planned to shoot as many people as possible in the building housing the newspaper, the Copenhagen Post reported. "Our assessment is that their plan was to try to get access to the Jyllands-Posten building and carry out a Mumbai-style attack," CNN quoted PET chief Jakob Scharf as saying. |
