CRI听力:Danish PM Says Gunman Not Part of Wider Cell 

2015-02-17来源:CRI

Danish authorities are moving to quell concerns about a wider terrorist threat in the country following this past weekend's shootings.

Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt says they believe the gunman who attacked a free speech debate and a synagogue is not part of a wider terror cell.

"About the perpetrator himself, I won't go into detail, we don't have all the details yet. But this is a young man of 22, he is a Danish citizen born in Denmark. He was known by the police for several criminal acts, including severe violence, and he was also known to be linked to a criminal gang in Copenhagen. But I want to also say that and make it very clear that we have no indication, at this stage, that he was part of a cell, that that took him to where he was now."

Thorning-Schmidt also says her government stands behind the country's Jewish community.

Her comments come on the heels of a new call by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for European Jews to migrate to Israel for their own security.
