Copenhagen, Denmark - Danish police say five men face preliminary charges of attempted terrorism after trying to burn down two police buildings and a bank in Copenhagen earlier this year.
Prosecutor Dorit Borgaard said on Thursday that she has expanded preliminary arson charges to include attempted terrorism. Preliminary charges are a step short of formal charges.
Four men were arrested in April when trying to torch a police academy. They are also suspected of attempted arson against Nordea bank's headquarters in January.
A fifth person was eventually arrested on suspicion of setting fire to the national police's data centre in January. Police say all the suspects are in their 20s.
Denmark's intelligence service believe the men belong to extremist left-wing groups. - Sapa-AP
