Terror suspicion: Serbia: Attack on police officers in front of Israeli embassy
A security guard has once again been attacked in front of the Israeli embassy in Belgrade. The incident has raised concerns and prompted Serbia to take new security measures.
A Serbian attacker, believed to be a minor, stabbed a police officer guarding the Israeli embassy in Belgrade with two knives and shouted "Allahu akbar!" before being shot dead by the officer in self-defense. Interior Minister Ivica Dacic described the attack, which occurred just after midnight, as a terrorist act and raised the country's terror alert level to its highest point.
The attacker was from Sabac, a city in western Serbia, and was known to authorities as a supporter of the Islamic State (IS). This incident is under further investigation.
