A huge police operation against the planning of terror has cleared the surface of all the Danish media.
Information is still scarce, and after the Police and PET on Wednesday afternoon held a brief press conference, the questions do not become fewer. However, there is a picture of a case of historical character.
It is the laying Hans Jørgen Bonnichsen, former head of PET, took with him from the press conference at 17 on Wednesday.
“first, it will be said that it is a police action, and that there never ever has been arrested so many in a terrorsag as this case,” he says:
Hans Jørgen Bonnichsen, do note that it is not unknown that in terrorsager has a very fine mesh net at the moment, there is a suspicion.
“I remember, for example, the Glostrup-case in his time – one of the first public cases we had. There was arrested 25 persons, four were manufactured in the grundlovsforhør, and only one was convicted, so one should just be aware of that it here does not need to be an expression of all in the case here has a special intent,” he says.
Terrorsagen from Glostrup was that four persons were in custody for suspected involvement in planning a terrorist attack.
The arrested were suspected of having close links to the terrorsigtede in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“Something else that is characteristic, is something, I as a citizen can hope for is a new feature from the PET – it’s that you suddenly see the operational head of the Police Intelligence service act at a press conference,” says Hans Jørgen Bonnichsen:
“That, I think, in fact, is historic. I don’t recall that we ever seen it in the past.”
Why offers you the welcome?
“I do then, because the PET has not released a threat assessment on it, they have dealt with in the two years. After Scharff’s case, they have closed down around itself. All the contacts I have in the press, have a perception that it is very difficult to penetrate the walls that are in the PET.”
