Suicide bombers in Denmark?

Nothing in the Norwegian media about bombs in Denmark.

There's been an attack in India, though, but I find it hard to believe you're that confused.

No. Arrests in Copenhagen.
 
4 suspected terrorists arrested in Denmark
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- Four young Muslim men have been arrested in Denmark on suspicion of being involved in plans to attack a target in the Balkans.
The four, who range in age from 16 to 20, were all born and raised in Denmark, although only one was a Danish citizen, the newspaper Jyllands-Posten reported.

Police spokesman Jorn Bro said their families had become worried because the young men had recently become involved in radical Islam.

"They're not the usual type that draws the police's attention," Bro said. "These are four young, introverted men, who are deeply religious. Their lifestyles, way of dress and their visits to mosques in Copenhagen show that."

Investigators say the four may have been recruited to serve as suicide bombers.

The four were picked up in raids in Copenhagen and its suburbs on Thursday. Police also seized computers and 200,000 kroner ($32,336) in cash, and detained 21 other men who were quickly released.

Ah...

I didn't know about that, so checked some Danish newspapers.

Jagten på mulige terrorister i Danmark førte i går til, at politiet fængslede yderligere to unge fra Storkøbenhavn - en mand og en kvinde i 20-årsalderen. Nu er i alt seks fængslet i Danmark og to i Bosnien.

»Jeg kan ikke udelukke, at der foretages flere anholdelser de kommende dage. Akkurat som jeg heller ikke kan udelukke, at Danmark var udset som terrormål,« sagde (....) kriminalinspektør Sten Skovgaard Larsen.

Translation :

The hunt for possible terrorists in Denmark led yesterday to the imprisonment of two young people from Storkøbenhavn, a man and a woman in their twenties. So far six people have been imprisoned in Denmark and two in Bosnia.

- I can't exclude the possibility that there will be more arrests in the following days, just like I can't exclude the possibility that Denmark was targeted for a terrorist attack, said police officer Sten Skovgaard Larsen.

I believe the use of the word fængslet/imprisoned in this case means arrested, not sentenced and sent to jail.

Optrevlingen af terrorsagen begyndte i Bosnien, hvor politiet efter tip fra svensk politi opdagede en terrorcelle og et arsenal af våben og sprængstoffer. 30 kilo sprængstof, adskillige skydevåben, lyddæmpere, som bruges af snigskytter, samt såkaldte "martyrjakker" - veste, der kan bruges til at fastgøre sprængstoffer til kroppen ved selvmordsaktioner.

I Bosnien er en tyrker med bopæl i Danmark og en svensk statsborger fængslet. Svenskeren var angiveligt tiltænkt rollen som selvmordsbomber.

Translation :

The terror case started in Bosnia, where the police, after a tip from Swedish police, discovered a terror cell and an arsenal of weapons and explosives. 30 kilos of explosives, several firearms, silencers to be used by snipers, and so called 'martyr jackets', that could be used to place explosives on the body in suicide attacks.

In Bosnia, a Turk who lives in Denmark and a Swedish citizen is imprisoned. The Swede was supposedly going to be the suicide bomber.

Stolen Rembrandt recovered in Denmark
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- A Rembrandt self-portrait stolen in 2000 from a Stockholm museum resurfaced in a Copenhagen hotel room.

Danish police seized the painting and arrested four people, the BBC reported. The four -- two Iraqis, a Gambian and a Swede -- face extradition to Sweden.

"We heard that someone was trying to sell the painting and we decided to go for it," a police spokesman said.

What, you are surprised to find that in Bosnia?

Actually, yes. I served in the NATO forces in Bosnia, and never experienced the Muslim population there as extreme in any way. Also, whenever we were in Muslim areas of the country, the people were cheering us as liberators.

Many Danes gave their lives to stop the war in Bosnia, and save the Muslim population from genocide by the Serbs. This seems like a very poor way to show gratitude.

I meant that people would find weapons and bombs there.

"Many" Danes? How many Danes were that? Refresh my memory, if you like.

I have no idea what the exact number is, but I know they lost more than we did, and we lost 5.

7 is not "many". And that's the Balkans altogether, not just Bosnia.
