COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Three Swedish nationals have been arrested in connection with two predawn explosions in the vicinity of the Israeli Embassy in Copenhagen. Police say the blasts early Wednesday were likely caused by hand grenades. No one was injured. They say it’s unclear whether the target was the Israeli Embassy, which is located in an area with several diplomatic missions. Security has been stepped up around Copenhagen’s main synagogue ahead of the Jewish New Year holidays on Thursday and Friday. The chairman of Denmark’s Jewish community issued a statement urging people to remain aware in public spaces but said there was no reason to refrain from participating in Jewish life.
