Danish court convicts three in terror case
COPENHAGEN: A Danish court on Friday convicted three men of plotting to blow up a target in Denmark or abroad.
The Eastern High Court in Copenhagen handed down guilty verdicts to Mohammad Zaher, Ahmad Khaldhadi and Abdallah Andersen. A fourth defendant was acquitted. The men went on trial on charges of making bombs for a planned terror attack, they were arrested in a terror sweep in the central Denmark city of Odense. Police said they found a bomb-making manual and a bottle with 50 grams of triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, in one of the suspects’ homes. That explosive was used by the four suicide bombers who killed 52 commuters in London on July 7, 2005. Prosecutors have not said what the intended target was, only that the defendants were planning a terrorist attack. During the trial, prosecutors presented wiretap recordings of the defendants discussing possible targets, including the Jyllands-Posten. ap
