Iran may be behind attacks on Israeli embassies, Sweden says

(BBC) Sweden’s security service Sapo has said that Iran may have been involved in the explosions and gunfire that took place near the Israeli embassies in Stockholm and Copenhagen earlier this week.

Fredrik Hallstrom of Sapo said that choice of targets and methods pointed in the direction of Iran, but added this was an “assumption rather than pure knowledge.”

On [Tuesday] evening, shots were fired at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm. Nobody was injured.

Two explosions were then reported near the Israeli embassy in central Copenhagen in the early hours of Wednesday.

Two Swedish teenagers aged 16 and 19 were arrested at the Copenhagen train station later that afternoon. One of them had reportedly bought tickets to Amsterdam.
