Denmark to hold terror suspects 4 weeks

Three terror suspects arrested in Denmark Friday will be held on remand for four weeks, a court in Copenhagen ordered. A 22-year-old Jordanian, a 23-year-old Turkish citizen residing in Denmark and a 21-year-old Danish citizen who lives in Egypt were initially charged with illegal possession of automatic weapons, but the Danish Security and Intelligence Service said in a statement the men are also \"suspected of having been in the process of preparing an act of terror.\" The arrests were made in two locations, one of which allegedly involved the handover of two AK-47 assault rifles, the Copenhagen Post reported. The remand will give investigators a month to \"establish whether possible terror threats have been addressed and averted by the arrests,\" the intelligence service said. Four Muslim extremists are on trial in Denmark for an attempted terror attack on the Jyllands-Posten newspaper after it published caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, which is taboo in Islam.
