The ‘one-legged bomber’ Lors Doukaev has been transferred to Belgium where he will serve the remainder of his sentence, reports Ritzau.
On Thursday of last week, two police officers escorted Doukaev to Belgium where he was taken into the custody of Belgian police.
In September 2010, the then 24-year-old Belgian accidentally detonated a letter bomb in a bathroom at Hotel Jørgensen. He was soon apprehended by police after he fled into Ørstedsparken.
Jyllands-Posten newspaper is thought to be the intended target of the letter bomb that Doukaev, a radicalised Muslim, planned to send because of the newspaper's controversial publication of cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed.
In 2011, Doukaev was sentenced to 12 years in prison and received a permanent ban from returning to Denmark.
Doukaev spent his childhood in Chechnya where he lost his leg to a land mine at the age of ten. His missing limb proved vital in his identification after he was recognised in Belgium due to his career as a one-legged boxer.
