26/04/2011 - AFP - The Danish intelligence service (PET) announced today the arrest of four militants of the extreme left who had planned to set fire to a police academy.
The four, aged 19 to 23 years, were receiving attention from police for a long time for their arson attempts, according to PET.
They were arrested last night while they were inside a police school of Broedbyoester, a suburb of Copenhagen, with flares and Molotov cocktails.
These people are also suspected of an arson attempt against a bank in January.
"For PET, it is of people involved in extremist circles that are ready to use very violent methods," said the head of PET, Jakob Scharf.
A young 21 year old woman was also arrested after the arrest of four people, according to Danish media.
