The French ambassador was also present at the seminar. Reports say up to 40 shots were fired and a manhunt has been launched. Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who has previously faced death threats over caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, was unhurt.

Valin Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Several injured in shooting at Copenhagen synagogue COPENHAGEN — Reuters Saturday, Feb. 14 2015, 7:31 PM EST One person was shot in the head and two police were wounded in an attack on a synagogue in central Copenhagen, Danish police said, adding that it was too early to say whether the incident was connected to an earlier one at an arts cafe. Danish television station TV2 said a large metro and train station nearby, Norreport, was being evacuated. The news followed a shooting attack earlier Saturday on a cafe which hosted a debate on freedom of speech and was attended by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who has been threatened with death for his cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad. One man died in that attack, and police said a suspect was still at large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Europe terrorism threat sees leaders mull tough new counterterrorism measures Feb. 12 2015 BRUSSELS -- Galvanized by the recent terror attacks in France, European Union leaders on Thursday debate a range of ambitious steps to better protect their 28 nations, including exchanging airliner passenger manifests, tightening controls at the border and combating extremism on the Internet. "Europe is facing an unprecedented, diverse and serious terrorist threat," Gilles de Kerchove, the bloc's counter-terrorism coordinator, told EU member governments in a report last month. Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics, whose nation holds the EU's six-month revolving presidency, said Tuesday the often fractious members had reached broad consensus on what actions to take, and share the "strong will" to implement them.

Valin Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Police Say They Killed Suspect in 2 Attacks in Copenhagen STEVEN ERLANGER FEB. 15, 2015 LONDON — The Copenhagen police said on Sunday that they had shot and killed a man they believed carried out two attacks that left two people dead, one at a cafe and one outside a synagogue, and wounded at least five policemen. (Snip) Later Sunday, Jorgen Skov, a police inspector, said at a news conference in Copenhagen that the police had shot and killed the suspect after he opened fire on officers near the Norreport train and subway station in the Norrebro neighborhood. The shooter was confronted by the police as he returned to an address that they were keeping under surveillance, Mr. Skov said, suspecting that the man had been involved in the killings. The police have no indication for the moment that other suspects were involved, he said. Torben Moelgaard Jensen, a senior police official, said: “We believe the same man was behind both shootings and we also believe that the perpetrator who was shot by the police action force at Norrebro station is the person behind the two attacks.” (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
