"Suicide gang" held

COPENHAGEN: Danish police confirmed on Friday that the arrest of four young Muslims suspected of belonging to a network planning a suicide attack in Europe was linked to an investigation in Bosnia.

The four suspects, aged between 16 and 20, were arrested in and around Copenhagen on Thursday and detained in jail as police continued their investigation. ``We had a very short period to investigate but our information indicated that their action was imminent,'' police spokesman Joern Bro said. He declined to give details, saying only that the network had planned to carry out the suicide attack in Europe.

The Danish intelligence service, PET, had received the information from a foreign partner, he said, refusing to give further details. The arrests were linked to an investigation in Bosnia in which a Turkish, a Swedish and a Bosnian national were arrested in Sarajevo on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack, Mr. Bro said.
