COPENHAGEN: A suspect package has been found outside a cafe in Copenhagen, the scene of an attack during a free speech event on Saturday, and the area has been evacuated, police there told a Reuters television reporter on Tuesday.
The suspected gunman in that attack and another on a synagogue was shot dead on Sunday but Copenhagen has been on high alert since and two people were arrested yesterday, accused of helping the attacker. Sniffer dogs and about 25-30 police officers were present at the cafe while vans with more officers were arriving, the TV reporter said. They were waiting for a bomb disposal team, police told the witness.
A 22-year-old gunman opened fire on a cafe hosting a free speech debate on Saturday, killing one. He then attacked the synagogue, killing a guard. The shootings sent shockwaves through the country, proud of its open society.
Police later shot dead the man suspected of the killings in a shootout in his neighborhood of Norrebro, a largely immigrant part of the city with a reputation for gang violence. (PTI)
Police have still not named the shooter but media outlets have widely reported that he was Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, a son of Palestinian immigrants known to the police due to his weapons violations, an assault conviction and membership of a gang.
Yesterday, police confirmed that the shooter visited an internet cafe where later they detained the two men accused of aiding him. REUTERS JW AE PR
