Denmark detains man suspected of seeking drones for Hamas

(AFP) A 28-year-old man was remanded in custody in Denmark on Monday on suspicions of purchasing drones to be used in a Hamas “terrorist attack,” Danish intelligence said Monday.

Flemming Drejer, head of operations at Denmark’s PET intelligence service, said in a statement it believed that “this individual purchased drones intended for use by Hamas in a terrorist attack at an unknown location in Denmark or abroad.”

Appearing before a court on Monday, the man was remanded in custody until June 11.

PET said the case had links to both Hamas and criminal gangs in Denmark, and related to a number of arrests made in December 2023 as part of an operation to prevent a suspected planned “terrorist attack.”
