North Macedonia says recent attack on synagogue was linked to Islamic State
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn arson attack last month on a synagogue in North Macedonia’s capital has been linked to the Islamic State jihadist group, the country’s intelligence service says.
Nobody was injured in the April 12 attack, which is the Orthodox Easter, but the entrance of the building was left scorched after it was set on fire.
The Agency for National Security says it raided several properties and arrested seven people believed to be a “part of a radical group ideologically linked to the global network of the Islamic State.”
