Police in Denmark and Sweden have today arrested five suspected of plotting an attack against the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, which in 2005 published a dozen cartoons of Muhammad that set fire to Islamic extremism worldwide. The detainees now aspired to "kill as many people as possible", according to police, the building housing the newspaper in Copenhagen which is shared with two other newspapers.It is the biggest attack disabled in Danish history. The operation to dismantle the command was developed in coordination in the two countries, four arrested in Denmark (three of them arrived last night from the neighboring country) and one in Sweden. "The arrests have prevented an imminent terrorist attack in which several of the suspects were about to enter [the building of the Jyllands-Posten] in Copenhagen and kill as many people as possible," said the head of the Danish police, Jacob Scharf , in a statement.
The newspaper published five years ago a series of caricatures of Muhammad that sparked protests and violence in the Islamic world, in Africa, as in the Middle East and Asia. Dozens of people died in riots.

Danish police say their detention is a Tunisian, 44, a Swede of Lebanese origin, 29, another Swede of unknown origin, 30, and an Iraqi pending the granting of political asylum.
The detainee in Sweden, 37, had the nationality of the Scandinavian country, but was born in Tunisia. The arrests continue to increase for a month of the alert police in both countries, where security forces have seen signs that something is being prepared.
