Danish Islamic extremists convicted of terrorism

Two men secretly filmed mixing the type of explosive used in London’s July 7 bombings were today convicted in Denmark of preparing a terrorist attack.

Hammad Khuershid, a Dane of Pakistani origin, and Abdoulghani Tokhi, an Afghan, were arrested in an anti-terror sweep last year after Danish agents filmed them conducting a small test blast with triacetone triperoxide, which was used by the suicide bombers who killed 52 people in 2005.
