Two Danish brothers originally from Somalia will spend four weeks in pre-trial detention following their arrest by Denmark’s security service on suspicion of plotting a terror attack.
The security service says the older brother, who is 23, is also suspected of having received terror training from the Somali militant group al-Shabab.
He was arrested late yesterday at Copenhagen’s international airport as he arrived by plane from an undisclosed location. At the same time, his 18-year-old brother was arrested in a city (Aarhus) in western Denmark.
