Twenty-one masked men have been seen throwing molotov cocktails at a synagogue in central Gothenburg.
'We are in place with a number of units,' said Peter Nordengard, police chief of the West Western region, told the Expressen newspaper.
Dvir Maoz, the World Bnei Akiva youth movement's emissary in Gothenburg, said the attack happened a little after 10 p.m. while youths from the local Jewish community were attending a party inside the synagogue complex.
He described looking out from inside the synagogue lobby area and from the corner of his eye seeing 'a ball of fire' approaching the building.
'The guards saw it in the security cameras and called police right away. The children were stressed, it was the first time they had ever experienced a terrorist attack near them.'
