A Danish court found four men guilty of plotting to kill a large number of people at a newspaper to retaliate for its publication in 2005 of cartoons of Mohammed. The men, three Swedish citizens and a Tunisian, had pleaded not guilty to the charges though one of them had pleaded guilty to illegal possession of weapons.
The men, who were nabbed in a joint Danish-Swedish police operation at the end of 2010, were found guilty on the primary charge of terrorism but were acquitted on two charges of weapons possession on technicalities. Judge Katrine Eriksen said, "The accused...are guilty of terrorism, (They) agreed and prepared acts to kill people."
The men convicted were Mounir Ben Mohamed Dhahri, a Tunisian citizen, Munir Sven Awad a Swedish citizen born in Lebanon, Omar Lars Abdalla Aboelazm, a Swedish citizen born in Sweden to a Swedish mother and Egyptian father, and Sahbi Eric Ben Mohamed Zalouti, a Swedish citizen of Tunisian origin.

[Jerusalem Post] French police searching for 10 suspects of North African origin who beat victims in Villeurbanne with hammers, iron bars.
Three Jews wearing kipot were attacked by 10 people in Villeurbanne, La Belle France, near Lyon, French Interior Minister Manuel Valls was quoted as saying on Sunday by the European Jewish Press.
Two of the victims were hospitalized. One victim sustained an open wound to the head, and another suffered a neck injury.
The attackers were described as being of North-African origin, and beat their Jewish victims with hammers and iron bars, an act denounced as "extremely serious" by French authorities. The attack occurred on Saturday.
Accordingly, Valls mobilized the police to search out and arrest those behind the attack.
The incident came after a March attack in Toulouse ...lies on the banks of the River Garonne, half-way between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The Toulouse metropolitan area is the fourth-largest in La Belle France... La Belle France, in which Mohamed Merah killed three Jewish schoolchildren and a rabbi.
Merah admitted anti-Semetic motivations for his attack during a 30-hour gunbattle with police who besieged his Toulouse apartment.
La Belle France is home to western Europe's largest Jewish community, estimated at about 500,000 people, and has intermittently faced bouts of violent anti-Semitism.

I hope those seven hundred are the sum total of Neo-Nazis--there's trouble in Flußtadt (=River City) if they're gaining popularity.
