5 more suspects held in Danish terror probe
The Associated Press

Published: September 8, 2006


COPENHAGEN, Denmark A Danish court on Friday jailed five men arrested in an anti-terror sweep after investigators presented additional evidence linking them to an alleged terror plot, a prosecutor said.

The Odense City Court's decision brought to seven the number of suspects held on a four-week detention order as prosecutors prepare formal charges.

The two main suspects were remanded in custody on Wednesday, but the court at the time called for more evidence against the other five.

"The court today had to decide whether there is a strong suspicion (against the five), and the court decided that there is," Prosecutor Erik Terp Jensen told reporters after the hearing in Odense, central Denmark.

It was not clear whether the suspects denied the allegations, because their defense lawyers were prohibited from speaking to the media.

Anti-terror squads early Tuesday raided homes in an immigrant district of Odense, Denmark's third largest city, seizing chemicals, computers, telephones and CD-ROMs. Investigators said the chemical substances could be used to make bombs.

Justice Minister Lene Espersen said the suspects were planning a terror attack, most likely in Denmark.

Nine people were arrested in the raids, but two were later released. One was a Dane who converted to Islam and the others were Danish citizens with immigrant backgrounds, authorities said.

A local imam said they were of Palestinian, Iraqi and Kurdish origin and were active at the local mosque. None of the suspects can be named under a court order.

Terp Jensen said the Danish Security Intelligence Service and the local police were continuing the probe.

"We'll see what that investigation will lead to," he said. "At a certain point, we would have to find out whether we can raise formal charges."
