Two Israelis Shot In Denmark

The Associated Press reports that "a gunman wounded two Israelis working at a packed central Denmark shopping mall Wednesday, Danish police said. The two wounded men are Israelis in their 20s, police spokesman Lars Thede said."

Politikin.dk writes that "one of the victims was hit in the arm, the other was wounded in the leg, according to reports. Both were taken to hospital, but police were unable to provide information on their condition. Eyewitnesses told bt.dk that the perpetrator arrived in a hairdresser’s salon owned by one of the Israelis. He was said by eyewitnesses to have shouted something ‘in a Middle-Eastern language’ after which he began shooting. One of the Israelis was said to have tried to flee, while the other threw a stool at the man. Both, however, were hit. The police spokesman said that six bullets had been fired."

The following pro-Palestinian demonstration in Copenhagen on December 28th might help explain what would motivate such an attack. After listening to the chilling chant of "the Jews are Allah's enemies," your questions may be answered.
