Denmark arrests two for plotting terror attack

Two Danish brothers of Somali origin have been arrested in Denmark suspected of plotting a terror attack, the country\'s intelligence police PET said Tuesday. \"It is is PET\'s opinion that with the arrests we have avoided a concrete act of terror,\" PET said in a statement. The two brothers, aged 18 and 23, whose names were not given, were arrested on Monday -- one at his home in the central Danish town of Aarhus and the other as he arrived by plane at Copenhagen airport, it said. \"The arrested are suspected of having been in the process of preparing an act of terror, among other things through conversations about methods, targets and the use of weapon types,\" it said. \"One of the arrested is also suspected of having undergone training, instruction and teaching at an al-Shebab training camp in Somalia with the aim of carrying out an act of terror.\" Police had conducted searches at two separate addresses in Aarhus in connection with the arrests. Both men held Danish citizenship and had been living in the Aarhus area for the past 16 years, PET said, adding that they would go before a judge on Tuesday to determine whether they will be remanded in custody.
