The suspect behind the hotel explosion in Copenhagen last Friday was identified as Lors Doukaiev, a resident of Liege in Belgium. The suspect is originally from Chechnya. Following his identification, Danish TV reported that Belgian police have found 40 kilograms of explosives in the suspect's home."We are not 100 percent sure of his identity but we think it is very likely that he is Lors Dukayev, born in 1986 in Chechnya and now living in Belgium," said the lead investigator, Svend Foldager.
Danish daily Politiken reported that the suspect has been a member of boxing club Cocktail Liege. According to the boxing trainer Albert Syben, the suspect had been attending boxing training at the club.
Earlier reports stated that the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten was the suspect's target. Danish police however strongly advised against such speculation.
