I am fascinated by the fact that the Germans are shocked at the homegrown terrorist factor and that there was to be a massive terrorist attack on German soil. Back last June there were articles In Deutsche Welle about such attacks being planned (so said by Mansour Dadullah), then again in July, doesn't anyone read the papers over there?
The Danish seem to be surprized too! "According to PET head Jakob Sharf, six of the suspects are Danish citizens. "With the arrests, we have prevented a terror attack," Sharf told reporters. "Those arrested are militant Islamists with a connection to a leading al-Qaida person."
"The suspects are of Afghan, Pakistani, Somalian and Turkish origin and range in age from 19 to 29. Sharf said they were "producing an unstable explosive in a densely populated area" and that authorities had waited until they had gathered enough evidence before moving forward with the detentions."
