Norway: Terror accused Davud denies al-Qaida link

The accused ringleader of a terror plot in Norway has rejected charges that he conspired with al-Qaida to attack a Danish newspaper, saying he was planning a solo raid against the Chinese Embassy in Oslo.

Mikael Davud, a Chinese Muslim, told Oslo District Court today that his two alleged accomplices helped him acquire bomb-making ingredients but did not know he was planning an attack.
