Sweden: Police investigate shooting near 'Israeli target' ? DW ? 10
Police in Sweden have arrested an individual after a shooting incident near the offices of an Israeli defense contractor in the city of Gothenburg.
Police on Thursday said they were investigating a shooting near an "Israeli target" in Sweden's second city, Gothenburg.
The incident took place near a Swedish office of Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems, where police were seen.
In a statement, police said there were no reports of injuries but did not give details of the target.
A young suspect was detained at the scene and a preliminary investigation regarding attempted murder and serious weapons crime has been launched, police added.
In June, Swedish police said they had found a "suspected explosive object" outside the Gothenburg offices of the firm, known for its drone technology.
In the UK in August, seven people were charged over a pro-Palestinian protest at an Elbit building in southern England.
Police said a group of people forced their way into the building, using a vehicle to smash through doors before employees were "seriously assaulted."
