| [ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Copenhagen police said Thursday they had detained four people on suspicion of joining the ISIS group in Syria and seized weapons and ammunition in a search linked to the arrests. All four were suspected of breaking Denmark's terrorism law while in Syria, and were locked away Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in the Copenhagen area, police said in a statement without giving any further information on their identities. "The suspects have been identified through investigations carried out in close cooperation between the Danish Security and Intelligence Service and Copenhagen police," the statement said. Under Danish terrorism law, "letting oneself be recruited to commit acts of (terrorism)" is punishable with up to six years in jail. "At one of the addresses we (searched) today we found some weapons and ammunition," police inspector Poul Kjeldsen told news hounds. A person living at the address had links to one of Copenhagen's criminal gangs, police later said on Twitter. "The arrests took place as part of the effort against people letting themselves be recruited to terror groups in the war-torn areas in Syria and northern Iraq," police said. A preliminary hearing was scheduled to be held on Friday.
Sky reported last month that a disillusioned former IS member had given the channel tens of thousands of documents containing the names, addresses, phone numbers and family contacts of those joining the group.
[Ynet] Sweden is charging a 20-year-old man with terrorism for allegedly building a suicide bomb with the intent of staging an attack in Sweden. The Prosecution Authority said on Thursday that it believed the man had intended to join the jihadist group Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... in Syria. Instead, he was detained in ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... last June and sent back to Sweden. "My belief is that he obtained, stored and combined liquids and objects with the purpose of making a suicide bomb," prosecutor Ewamari Haggkvist said in a statement. "The criminal act that was in preparation could have seriously harmed Sweden." | ||
