Two "Accomplices" Charged over Copenhagen Shootings

(Telegraph-UK) David Chazan and Julian Isherwood - Two men were charged on Monday as accomplices of Omar el-Hussein, of Palestinian descent, who shot dead two people in a double attack in Copenhagen. "The two men are charged with helping the perpetrator through advice and deeds," the police said. In the second attack, on a girl's bat mitzvah celebration at a synagogue, el-Hussein pretended to be a drunken member of the party to get past a police cordon, but was stopped by a Jewish economist acting as a volunteer security guard, whom he shot dead. El-Hussein was released two weeks ago after serving a two-year sentence for stabbing a man at a railway station. Police believe he was radicalized in prison. Denmark, a nation of 5.6 million people, has an estimated 600,000 immigrants or citizens of foreign descent, many of whom are Muslims.
