“Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (8:60)

“Two men found guilty of planning a terrorist attack on the Tour de France,” by Armelle Delmelle, Copenhagen Post, March 29, 2022 (thanks to Henry):

On Monday, the Copenhagen Court found two 23-year-old men guilty of attempted terrorism. A 40-year-old woman facing the same charge was acquitted, but found guilty of other lesser charges.

The court placed emphasis on the discovery of numerous effects that are used to make bombs and the men’s movements on social media and the internet – which linked them to Islamic State.

All the ingredients needed to make explosives

During the investigation, the police found that the men were in possession of everything that is needed to make TATP: Hydrogen peroxide, lighter fluid, battery acid and acetone.

This explosive, also known as ‘Satan’s mother’, was used in the 7-7 terrorist attacks in London in 2005. This nickname is due to its high instability.

The prosecution has been unable to say where the attack would take place. However, the police found a note in the woman’s phone with information about the Tour de France stages scheduled to take place in Denmark from July 1-3.
