<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Danish terror suspects had French targets</b>
The nine suspected terrorists who were caught by the the Danish police on Tuesday in all likelihood also had their eye on French targets. The suspects maintained close contacts with radical French imams.

The Danish authorities came upon the trail of the suspects because of the riots in the city Odense last April. These riots arose after the arrests of several radical French imams, who at that moment were visiting the migrants district Vollsmose. Since then, the youth in the mostly immigrant-inhabited quarter are being kept an eye on.
Last Tuesday, this led to the arrest of nine suspects (read 'Danish police have picked up nine suspects'). The Danish intelligence service discovered materials among the muslim youths with which explosives could be made.
Yesterday, a Danish court ruled that there was enough evidence against two suspects to lock them up. On the other hand, the police would quickly need to come up with harder evidence for five of the [other] suspects. Otherwise the court sees no reason to retain them for longer than a few days.
