The threat of terrorism in Denmark and against its interests abroad has increased, the Nordic country’s PET security and intelligence service says.
The Gaza war between Israel and Hamas, and a series of Quran burnings in Denmark last year, contributed to the deteriorating security situation, the agency says.
The PET maintained an overall threat level assessment of 4, the second-highest on its scale from 1 to 5, but says the risks within that level had increased.
