The U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen issued a new security alert regarding “an intensified terrorist threat against Jewish and Israeli sites in Denmark.”
U.S. citizens are advised to:
- Exercise increased caution, including when near Jewish and Israeli sites.
- Report suspicious activity to the police.
- Be aware of your surroundings.
- Monitor local media for updates.
- Keep a low profile.
Fall 2024 students will have received this notice directly as part of their registration with the U.S. DOS STEP program.
