COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark and Germany have announced arrests of several terror suspects, including alleged Hamas members suspected of plotting attacks on Jews in Europe over the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. Thursday’s announcements were issued separately and it was unclear how the arrests were connected and if they were the result of coordinated actions, or even possibly one operation spanning the continent. Danish police said three people were arrested across Denmark while a fourth person was detained in the Netherlands on suspicion of plotting to carry out “an act of terror.” Danish officials said the arrests had “threads abroad.” Meanwhile, German officials said three suspected Hamas members who were allegedly planning attacks on Jewish institutions in Europe were arrested on Thursday.
