Dane who shot police an 'Islamic State soldier': Amaq

A Danish man who shot two police during a drug raid in Copenhagen earlier this week was an Islamic State group member, the jihadist-linked Amaq news outlet said today.

"The perpetrator of the attack that targeted the police in Copenhagen is a soldier of the Islamic State and carried out the operation in response to calls to target the countries of the coalition," it said, referring to an international alliance battling IS in Syria and Iraq.
