Copenhagen – Danish police are investigating
an incident in which four city buses were destroyed in a pre-dawn fire and a
fifth was vandalized with anti-Israel graffiti at a bus depot in Copenhagen.
Investigator Jens Moeller Jensen said police suspect arson and are
investigating possible links to a decision last week by city transit officials to remove bus ads by a pro-Palestinian Arab group calling
for a boycott of Israeli goods.
“There could be a political motive. We consider this one theory
… but we cannot link it to anything for now,” he said.
The buses were parked for the night at a depot in northern
Copenhagen. Photographs from the scene showed the badly charred buses
surrounded by firefighting foam.
