Terror Suspects in Denmark Being Held in Prison; Arrested on Charges of Illegal Weapons Possession

The CPH Post website reports today (April 30, 2012) that a court in Copenhagen has ordered three men  -- suspected of planing a terrorist attack -- to be held in prison for four weeks.

The men were arrested last week on charges of illegal weapons possession at a suburban Copenhagen train station after one of the suspects -- a 23-year-old Turkish citizen who lives in Denmark -- attempted to transfer two AK-47 assault rifles to a 21-year-old Dane who resides in Egypt.

Both men pleaded innocent, but the third suspect -- a 22-year-old Jordanian who was not present when the arrests were made at Herlev Station -- has pleaded guilty to the charges of weapons possession.

A fourth man -- a 24-year-old Palestinian -- was also arrested and charged with being in Denmark illegally.
