Terrorist Network in Denmark?
Saturday, 19. July 2008, 20:23:21
Plans to kill the bomb-in-the-turban cartoonist Kurt Westergaard were just one of several acts planned by a terror cell, according to intelligence reports.
According to reports the group had plans to commit acts of terrorism in addition to their alleged plans to strangle the cartoonist in retaliation for drawing a cartoon of the prophet Mohammed wearing a bomb-shaped turban.
It was unclear whether others from the group were involved in the suspected plans to murder Westergaard, but PET, the Danish domestic intelligence agency, reportedly informed network members that they were aware of their affiliation with the group.
The existence of the network was revealed as part of information presented by PET to the Supreme Court last month. The information was to be used by the court in the appeal of two of the suspects, both from Tunisia, who have been detained and who are to be deported.
Danish law permits foreign suspects of a crime in Denmark to be deported without a trial. A judge, however, must order that the suspects be held behind bars.
The court ruled that prosecutors had presented insufficient evidence during the two men's arraignment hearing and has required that a retrial be held.
The charges against a third man, a Moroccan-Dane, were dropped earlier last week.
It is expected that PET will present additional material during the retrial of the two Tunisians in Copenhagen Municipal Court, including information about the terror network and about the role of the Moroccan-Dane in the suspected plans to kill Westergaard.

This is why I choose no religion but me. Too many people twist these beliefs to fit their own twisted ideals. And it's over those people who end up dying, it's the ones that go to them for religious guidance.
These people really believe they're denying themselves paradise by breaking their religious beliefs, in order to show the world how corrupt it's become and save them. In another world they'd be heroes - here they're manipulated by evil men to further their own agendas.

Aadil - maybe because Jesus usually comes out looking good in the movies?

There was a little row after The DaVinci Code. Not that Jesus came out bad, but implying he was married with kids apparently was too hard to swallow for the church.
