2. Five Held For Plotting Attack on Danish (News) Paper
Source: Reuters

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Danish police arrested five people suspected of planning a Mumbai-style attack to kill as many people as possible in a building housing a Danish newspaper that outraged Muslims in 2005 with cartoons of Prophet Mohammad.

"It is our assessment that this is a militant Islamist group and they have links to international terrorist networks," Jakob Scharf, head of Denmark's PET security police, told a news conference on Wednesday.

Police found a machine gun with a silencer, ammunition and plastic strips that could be used as handcuffs in the attack that Scharf said was planned for January 1.

The suspects had planned to enter a Copenhagen office block housing several newspapers including offices of the daily Jyllands-Posten to "kill as many as possible of those around."

3. Where are the militant Islamist groups for freedom of the press?
They should make themselves heard and help put a stop to the sicko militant Islamist groups that like to murder as many people as they can to satisfy their blood thirst. I wonder how the militant Islamist groups would react to their Mohammad soaking in a jar of urine? Maybe forgo the silencers and use cold steel handcuffs?
