COPENHAGEN, (Reuters) – A Moroccan-born Dane charged with inciting fellow Muslims to violent holy war must remain in custody for another four weeks, a Danish judge ruled on Friday.
Said Mansour, 45, is the first person to be charged under a Danish anti-terrorism law enacted in 2002 in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States in 2001.
"He must remain in custody until Jan. 20," judge Jens Stausboell told Reuters, declining to give further comments as the court meeting was held behind closed doors.
Mansour was arrested on Sept. 8 and accused of producing and distributing videotapes, CDs and DVDs that police said contained "inflammatory, jihadist speeches" and footage of beheadings in Chechnya.
