Five Arrested in Plot to Attack Danish Newspaper
(New York Times) J. David Goodman - Five men arrested on Wednesday were about to mount a "Mumbai style" attack on the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten before New Year's Day, the head of the Danish Security and Intelligence Service said. The paper ignited Muslim fury around the world by publishing satirical cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in 2005. Lars Barfoed, the Danish justice minister, called the plot "the most serious terror attempt in Denmark." Those arrested came from Iraq, Tunisia, and Lebanon. A search of the apartment where three were staying in Herlev, Denmark, uncovered at least one machine gun with a silencer and live ammunition.
