Europe’s police fear terror attack

“Terrorist alert in Europe,” announces a rattled Jyllands-Posten. The Danish daily explains that the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (DSIS) has warned that members of an unknown terrorist cell are now on their way to Denmark. The DSIS has taken the unusual step of requesting that police remain on alert until the end of the year, while other European countries have also issued terrorism warnings. On 23 November, police investigating a Chechen-Moroccan network arrested 11 people in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. De Volkskrant reports that the Antwerp based organisation, which had been under Belgian police surveillance since the end of 2009, “also had a branch in Amsterdam.”
