(Copenhagen Post-Denmark) A Danish-Palestinian man has been convicted on five counts of attempted murder in the Odense District Court after he shot at Israelis in Odense's Rosengard shopping center. The court did not accept Wissam Freijeh's defense that he felt threatened by the three Israeli men who were operating a skincare booth in the center when he shot at them on New Year's Eve 2008. Two of the men were hit by shots and the judge returned a verdict that the three Israelis and two female customers present could have been killed by the gunman. A group of Israelis involved in the business venture, including those injured in the attack, have since returned to Israel on the advice of the Danish Security and Intelligence Service.
