Alarm in Denmark
Copenhagen: Two explosions outside Israel’s embassy
Two explosions were reported outside the Israeli embassy in the Danish capital Copenhagen on Wednesday morning. The police arrived with special forces, the background is unclear. Three suspects were arrested on Wednesday afternoon.
The explosions occurred directly in front of the embassy grounds. It is clear that the Israeli embassy in Denmark was the target, a police spokesman told the Reuters news agency.
No casualties
Fortunately, there were no casualties. What triggered the explosions is currently under investigation. The police were on the scene with special forces and explosive dogs, and the street in front of the embassy was cordoned off.
It is unclear whether the attack is connected to the latest developments in the Middle East. There are other embassy buildings in the area.
Three Swedes arrested
On Wednesday afternoon, it finally became known that the first arrests had been made in the course of the attack. Three young Swedes aged between 15 and 20 were arrested. Two of them were caught at Copenhagen Central Station on a train bound for Padborg, a town on the German-Danish border.
Jespersen said that it was not yet possible to say with certainty whether the embassy had been the target of the crimes or not. Damage had been caused to a building around 100 meters from the embassy.
