Danish police detained three Swedish nationals related to two blasts close to Israel’s embassy in Copenhagen and are investigating whether the incident is connected to a shooting near the Israeli diplomatic mission in Stockholm.
The three detainees are 15 to 20 years old, adding to a string of recent cases where young Swedes have committed crimes in Denmark. One of the suspects was detained close to the scene of the blasts early Wednesday, while the other two were apprehended on a train heading for the southern Danish border city of Padborg, police inspector Jens Jespersen said at a press conference.
