Denmark: UK link to Islamic Suspects in Detention?
We reported earlier, that on October 28 and also on October 29, a group of young suspected Islamists were detained. The individuals were believed to be planning a major suicide bombing attack, "somewhere in Europe".
Yesterday's Copenhagen Post states that the six people arrested in Denmark, who are linked to three people taken in Bosnia on October 23, may have a British connection.
British police had arrested three suspects in London, and discovered that they had email correspondence with a man living in Bosnia, codenamed "Maximus", who had apparently been trying to recruit jihadists to fight in Iraq. The British terror suspects are assumed to have been hatching a plot to attack the White House in Washington DC, US. They think one of the Danish detainees is involved with this plan.
According to Henrik at Viking Observer, who has translated a report from Berlingske Tidende, one of those in Danish custody is a 20-year old male who had been living in Tranemoesgard in Brondby. He arrived with his family as refugees from Bosnia in 1993. He was arrested at the Technical School in Copenhagen, where he was a student.
The other Danish suspects are males originally from Palestinian, Middle-Eastern and Ugandan origins, with one female in her 20s originally from Georgia. They all attended the same mosque in Copenhagen's Norrebo district, the "Islamic Congregation". Leaders of the mosque said they had a "colossal hatred" towards society, which according to the Imam, Abu Laban, made them introverted.
The three men arrested in the UK and alluded to in the Danish report, may be Waseem Mughal, Younis Tsouli and Tariq al-Daour, who were charged on November 4 with conspiracy and terror charges. Tsouli had a slide-presentation on his computer of various locations in Washington DC.
