Breaking: Terror in Copenhagen
Israel Radio is reporting that a 'Palestinian' opened fire on a group of Israelis in a supermarket just outside of Copenhagen.More details to follow.
UPDATE 6:01 PM
Israel Radio is now reporting that this shooting took place in a mall and that two Israelis were wounded.
UPDATE 7:00 PM
Here are more details.
Local police said the attack took place at approximately 3:20 p.m. at the Rosengirdscentret Center, one of the largest shopping centers in the city of Odense, located about 200 kilometers from Copenhagen.According to Foreign Ministry spokesman Yossi Levi, an undetermined number of Palestinian Authority gunmen approached the group of young Israelis at a "basta", or stand which sells Dead Sea products and other items from Israel and opened fire "with guns or rifles."As I understand it, one of the cosmetics companies here sends young Israelis abroad to market its products for periods of 1-2 years after the army. That may be why those Israelis were there.
t was not clear how many terrorists, and how many Israelis were involved in the attack. Two Israelis were wounded, one in the leg and the other in the shoulder. "As far as we know, there is no danger to their lives," Levi said, "but we do not know their names or other details at this time."
He added that Foreign Ministry officials in Denmark are in close contact with local authorities there. Very few details of the attack were available, however, and Levi was unable to say whether the terrorists had been caught or had managed to escape. A Danish radio station said the terrorists escaped in a black Audi sedan, which police later found at a nearby college.
Levi made a point of stressing that the Israeli government believes there is a connection between this terrorist attack and the Arab world's opposition to the current military operation in Gaza.
"In the Foreign Ministry, a direct line is drawn between these assaults and the sharp anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish propaganda in the Arab national and international media since the beginning of the operation in Gaza," he said. "We don't have proof, but that is our estimation."
Israel Radio had some of the same details in its 7:00 newscast.
Pretty city anyway.

Two Danish papers report that two people were shot at near the Rosengård Centre in Odense. One person was hit in the arm and the other in the leg.
The incident took place around 15:20 local time. The police is looking for the shooter.
So far no mention of who were shot or possible suspects.
where is the source for this?

We can expect more Arab terror, which will be blamed on Israel's exercise of her right of self defense. But then we've all gotten used to Arabs murdering Jews for centuries because the Jews have gotten just "too plain uppity." The leftists and moonbats of the world don't understand that Muslims don't want peace alongside Israel; they want to snuff out the Jewish State. And the most virulent anti-Semitism is to be found today in Europe's Muslim communities.
One of my cousins actually joined one of the cosmetic companies after the IDF and is now in San Diego working on some parlor...we also saw two Israelis working in another parlor in the Las Vegas Strip. These com panies are really reaching out.
