Denmark 'faces terror threat'

2008-08-20 21:51

Copenhagen - Danish intelligence officials say Denmark faces its worst terror threat in many years with a possible attack happening at any time.

The agency says the publication of 12 Danish drawings of the Prophet Muhammad and Denmark's military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan have helped focus militant extremists' attention on the Nordic country.

The report's release on Wednesday follows a June 2 car bombing that killed six people outside the Danish Embassy in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.
