COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - The Danish government said on Friday it will seek to toughen laws on affiliation with terrorist organisations and stop its citizens from entering areas where such groups are in armed conflict.

The proposed bill follows the arrest on Thursday of four men suspected of having been recruited by jihadist group Islamic State and two others accused of breaking Danish weapons law.
