2 detained in Finland for financing terror—ToI—18.9.11

A man and a woman with foreign backgrounds have been detained in Finland on suspicion of financing terrorism and recruiting people for terror attacks on another country, police said. “There is a reason to believe these actions are related to such an organization which is suspected of terrorism actions,” Detective Inspector Kaj Bjorkqvist from the National Bureau of Investigation said. The two suspects had been under surveillance by the security intelligence service before their arrest on Sept. 7. They appeared at a district court a week ago and were remanded into custody. REUTERS
