Five Alleged ALF Terrorists Arrested in Denmark

On September 28, Denmark authorities arrested four men and one woman and charged them with at least 80 counts of ALF-related terrorism.

The five men and women were apparently under police surveillance and were followed to an area near a large farm. After arriving there the five donned gear apparently aimed to allow them to sneak onto the farm and raid it, including radio headsets, shoe coverings, and small lights mounted on their heads.

At that point police stepped in and took the small group into custody. ALF supporters seem particularly upset that, in a delicious irony, the activists were charged with animal cruelty among other things.
