COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Two predawn explosions have occurred in the vicinity of the Israeli Embassy in Copenhagen, prompting the nearby Jewish school to close for the day. Three men were later arrested in connection with the blasts. Police say no one was injured in the blasts, which happened early on Wednesday. They’re investigating a possible link between the explosions and the embassy, which sits 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.
