Threats to the Swedish Jewish community have doubled since the attacks in Paris
The number of threats to the Swedish Jewish community has doubled since the attacks in Paris and the killing of four Jews at a kosher supermarket, a community representative said Thursday.
"The threats have at least doubled in Sweden," a representative from Council of Jewish Communities in Sweden, Lena Posner-Körösi, told AFP.
Security was increased around Jewish institutions, especially in the Swedish capital. "The Säpo (intelligence services) and the police believe that we must have more protection," said Posner-Körösi. "They show a very good understanding of our situation. This is very important because our members are worried," she added.
