COPENHAGEN - One person was lightly injured in an explosion outside the Danish Tax Agency’s office in Copenhagen late on Tuesday in what police said was a deliberate attack, although it was too early to know who was behind it.
The blast, which occurred at around 22.15 p.m. , shattered glass doors and windows and scorched metal cladding at the main entrance of the building in Nordhavn, just north of the city center. Police had closed off the surrounding streets on Wednesday morning and staff had been told to stay away. “We take this very seriously and already last night established a broad and comprehensive investigation. We cannot and will not accept an attack like this,” he said.
Denmark has some of the highest taxes in the world to underpin its generous welfare system. Danes are generally happy to pay high taxes, surveys show.“It hurts our sense of security when something like this hits in the middle of our capital, so we look at this with great severity,” Frederiksen said at a news conference.
