Agence France PresseRight-wing extremists in Denmark are getting ready for a "race war" and are conducting weapons training in preparation, the country's PET intelligence agency said Thursday.
A small minority of Denmark's far-right group members "are involved in registering political adversaries and are trying among other things to acquire skills in weapons use and martial arts," PET said in a report on political extremism. The PET stressed that only a small number of Denmark's fragmented far-right was involved in such activities, but said it was seeing active efforts to recruit new members from hooligan gangs, and that it had seen an increase in violent clashes between right- and left-wing extremist groups.
"It is our evaluation that this part of the far-right community is preparing for a future race war in Denmark and in that context is willing to use violence."
