Yesterday's arrest was not Mansour's first run-in with authorities suspecting him of terror. The Danish Security Intelligence Service (PET) attempted to apprehend Mansour in connection with terror activities in 2003 after Mansour was seen videotaping escape routes on a ferry to Norway. After searching his apartment, however, police merely charged him with possession of stolen goods.
