Gothenburg and Malmö Sweden:Twenty masked men throw Molotov cocktails at synagogue

From the Daily Mail, the Swedish edition of the Local and Sveriges Radio.

Twenty-one masked men have been seen throwing molotov cocktails at a synagogue in central Gothenburg.‘Twenty-one seems very specific; twenty, or twenty odd, or two dozen would be more usual. ‘We in place with a number of units,’ said Peter Nordengard, police chief of the West Western region, told the Expressen newspaper.

Dvir Maoz, the World Bnei Akiva youth movement’s emissary in Gothenburg, said the attack happened a little after 10 p.m. while youths from the local Jewish community were attending a party inside the synagogue complex. He described looking out from inside the synagogue lobby area and from the corner of his eye seeing ‘a ball of fire’ approaching the building. The guards saw it in the security cameras and called police right away. The children were stressed, it was the first time they had ever experienced a terrorist attack near them.’  

The attacked happened after several hundred people marched through the centre of Malmo on Friday night to protest against President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. 
Demonstrators shouted “we want our freedom back and we’re going to shoot the Jews”, among other slogans, according to a report by Sveriges Radio.

Sveriges Radio reports, according to on line translation, “We have announced the intifada from Malmö. We want our freedom back, and we will shoot the Jews.” And  “the Jews should remember that the army of Muhammad will return” .

P4 Malmöhus tried to talk with some organizers, but no one could be identified as responsible for the demonstration. It was a spontaneous gathering, said several people we spoke to.
