<p>Five Islamic extremists have been caught as they planned to massacre staff at the Danish newspaper that printed cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.</p>
<p>The men, arrested in a security service operation, intended to shoot as many people as possible at the Jyllands-Posten daily in Copenhagen, according to Danish officials.</p>
<p>Denmark&#8217;s intelligence service held four men in two raids in suburbs of the capital and seized an automatic weapon, a silencer and ammunition.</p>
<p>Swedish police said they arrested a 37-year-old Swede of Tunisian origin living in Stockholm.</p>
<p>&#8220;An imminent terror attack has been foiled,&#8221; said Jakob Scharf, head of the Danish security and intelligence service, known as PET. He described some of the suspects as &#8220;militant Islamists with relations to international terror networks&#8221; and said that more arrests are possible.</p>
<p>PET said it seized a 44-year-old Tunisian, a 29-year-old Lebanese-born man and a 30-year-old who were living in Sweden and had entered Denmark late on Tuesday or early on Wednesday. The fourth person detained was a 26-year-old Iraqi asylum-seeker living in Copenhagen.</p>
<p>The four men face preliminary charges of attempting to carry out an act of terrorism. They will face a custody hearing on Thursday.</p>
<p>Zubair Butt Hussain, a spokesman for the Muslim Council of Denmark, called the plan &#8220;extremely worrying&#8221;. He added that the organisation &#8220;absolutely condemns any act of terrorism regardless of the motives and motivations that may lie behind&#8221;.</p>
<p>There have been at least four plots to attack against Jyllands-Posten or Kurt Westergaard, the artist who drew the most contentious of 12 cartoons, which were published by the daily in 2005 as a challenge to perceived self-censorship.</p>
<p>&#8220;The foiled plot is a direct attack on democracy and freedom of press,&#8221; Mr Westergaard said. &#8220;We may not and won&#8217;t let anyone forbid us to criticise radical Islamism. We may not be intimidated when it comes to our values.&#8221;</p>
