Denmark's intelligence service on Wednesday arrested four people suspected of planning an "imminent" terror attack against a newspaper that printed the controversial Prophet Muhammad cartoons.

The Danish Security and Intelligence Service, known as PET, said three of the four men were residents of Sweden and had entered the country during the night of Tuesday to Wednesday.

Jakob Scharf, the head of PET, said that "an imminent terror attack has been foiled." He described some the suspects as "militant Islamists."

PET said the group was planning to enter the building where the Jyllands-Posten daily has its Copenhagen newsdesk and had wanted "to kill as many of the people present as possible."

Scharf said the arrests were made after close cooperation with Swedish police.

The three suspects living in Sweden were identified as a 44-year-old Tunisian citizen, a 29-year-old Lebanese-born man and a 30-year-old Swedish resident whose origin was not immediately known. One of the suspects was a 26-year-old Iraqi asylum seeker living in Copenhagen.

The four men face preliminary charges of attempting to carry out an act of terrorism. They will face a custody hearing Thursday.

FIve years later and they're still a target.
 
It'll stop becoming an issue when there are some dead newspapermen.

Are "militant Islamists" and "Muslim extremists" one in the same?
 
Militant Islam is just a bunch of misunderstood freedom fighting souls.

We should give them a hug.

I'm intrigued by your ideas.

We should co-opt the Al-Queda rank and file and turn them into contract killers.

Sorry, I just can't stand it when somebody uses logic and a knowledge of history to justify their bigotry.
I'm not talking about you, just that asswipe.

Good point.

Plus, their American supporters tend to be bunglers.
