Four accused of Islamist terrorism on trial in Denmark Apr 15th 2012, 03:08 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17698436 Quote: Four men have gone on trial accused of planning an armed attack on a Danish newspaper that printed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Prosecutors said the men had plotted to open fire on the offices of Jyllands-Posten on the day that Crown Prince Frederik was due to visit the building... ...Munir Awad, Omar Abdallah Aboelazm and Munir Ben Mohamed Dhahri, a Tunisian citizen, were picked up by police on 29 December 2010 at a flat near the Danish capital, Copenhagen. Sabhi Ben Mohamed Zalouti was arrested a day later after crossing back into Sweden, then extradited back to Denmark. They could face between 14 and 16 years in prison if convicted at the trial in the Glostrup district court, just outside the Danish capital, Copenhagen... ...A machine-gun with a silencer, a revolver and 108 bullets and reams of duct tape were among items found in the men's possession when they were arrested. Prosecutors say they intended to cause havoc and kill as many people as possible in an attack similar to that in Mumbai, India in 2008.
