Denmark grenade attack last month likely targeted Israeli embassy — report

Israel’s embassy in Denmark was likely the target of grenades thrown nearby last month, Danish media reports, citing the pre-indictment of two teenage suspects detained in the case.

Two Swedes aged 17 and 19 went before a judge in Copenhagen who remanded them for another 20 days.

Their pre-indictment, citing investigations, says they are suspected of violating terrorism laws by “throwing hand grenades at the Israeli embassy in Denmark on October 2,” the Ritzau news agency reports.

The grenades landed on the terrace of a house adjacent to the embassy, where they exploded, causing no injuries.

The two suspects were arrested at a Copenhagen railway station hours later initially on suspicion of violating gun laws.

They have since been accused of a terror offense, and police, who have arrested a man in his fifties in connection with the incident, are also looking for other accomplices.

“It makes no sense to imagine this is an act they committed alone. There must be accomplices,” Ritzau quotes prosecutor Soren Harbo as saying at the start of the hearing.
