Five suspected Islamist militants have been arrested for planning a gun attack at the Copenhagen offices of a Danish newspaper that printed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in 2005, police say.
The men intended to burst into the Jyllands-Posten office and kill as many people as possible, officials said. Denmark's justice minister said the attack would have been "outrageous".
Police later evacuated a building where one of the men was held after finding what were thought to be explosives. Four of the suspects were held in Denmark and the fifth was detained in Sweden. [BBC] Read more
