En palæstinensisk mand, der i 1985 begik et bombeattentat i København, fik i dag ændret sin straf fra fængsel på livstid til 30 års fængsel. Afgørelsen blev truffet af byretten i Örebro i Sverige.
Det skriver TV2. Der er tale om den nu 53årige Marten Imandi:
Sammen med Mohammed Abu Talb var han hovedansvarlig for bombesprængningen mod det amerikanske luftfartsselskab Northwest Orients kontor på Vester Farimagsgade og mod synagogen i Krystalgade i København i juli 1985. En algerisk mand blev dræbt, mens 26 andre blev såret ved selskabets kontor. Ingen kom til skade i Krystalgade.
Der var nu altså faktisk adskillige lettere sårede på plejehjemmet ved siden af synagogen, hvor alle vinduer blev blæst ud.
Sagen mod Marten Imandi, Mohammed Abu Talb og to andre mænd blev rejst i Sverige, fordi også et bombeattentat i Stockholm indgik i tiltalen.
Hovedmålet skulle have været det israelske flyselskab El Als kontor i København, men det kiksede og terroristerne smed i stedet den 3. bombe i kanalen ved Nyhavn, hvor politiet senere fiskede den op.
Eftersom palæstinenseren Marten Imandi allerede har siddet i brummen i lang tid, ventes kulturberigeren løsladt om kun 1½ år.

A group of divers emerging from the sea allegedly opened fire on a Danish policeman near Copenhagen airport. The incident occurred close to the site of the United Nations Summit for Social Development, which was attended by Hillary Clinton.
Only one of four Molotov cocktails thrown at the Austrian Embassy in Copenhagen, detonated, causing material damages to the building. A group calling itself the “Supporters of Horst Ludwig Meyer” claimed responsibility for the attack that was made in protest to the recent killing of Meyer, a Red Army Faction (RAF) terrorist. German and Austrian police investigations conclude, however, that there is no connection between Meyer’s death and this attack on the Embassy.
Dec. 26, 1999
A powerful bomb was found near Dusher Street, the center of the soft drug trade in Christiania, a “free city” which is made up of a former barracks vacated by the army in 1971 and is now occupied by about 1000 residents who are a self-governing society, free from the restrictions of Danish law. Police experts destroyed the bomb which may perhaps be linked to another, less powerful device that exploded in a nearby cannabis stall three days earlier.
Jan. 31, 2000
Boris Zhilko, a Russian diplomat, was injured when a bottle containing an incendiary mixture was thrown into the Russian Consular Office in Copenhagen. The attacker was detained and claimed he attacked the embassy “in response to Russia’s actions in Chechnya.”
May 17, 2004
A homemade explosive device, consisting of fireworks placed inside a wooden box, detonated outside the Danish defense ministry in Copenhagen. The blast caused no damage and no one was injured. Authorities believe the attack was perpetrated in protest to the US-led war in Iraq, in which Danish troops are playing a part.
June 8, 2005
The car and home of Integration Minister Rikke Hvilshoj, was set on fire in the early morning hours. Hvilshoj, her husband and two children were home asleep at the time of the attack, but managed to escape without injury. The fire destroyed the car and seriously damaged the home. An email sent to the Danish media claimed responsibility for the attack on behalf of a new group, the “Action Group Extreme Beate.” A few days after the attack, a Copenhagen man was arrested in connection with the email that was sent. He is being charged with arson, threatening democracy by attacking a minister and endangering the life of another, a sentence which can carry up to life in prison.

You may have heard of human capital — that’s the total of what you know and how you can put it to work. Then there’s physical capital: that’s the material stuff you own. But what about ‘social capital’? What’s the value, and the measure, of our networks of social interaction? It’s not just about formal membership of organisations, or running for public office. It’s about the worth of all our social interactions: a chat with a neighbour over the back fence, work for a school committee, letter-writing to the local paper or the signing of a petition. It all adds up to social capital. And it’s more important than you might think. Communities with high levels of social capital are happier, healthier, safer and wealthier than those with little of it. Research suggests that social capital is, indeed, the key to a good life. So, what happens when social capital collapses? What should we do? And is it something which law-makers should be thinking about? American academic and author Robert Putnam, who has chronicled the collapse in social capital in the United States, says we need to reconsider our TV watching habits, ditch our virtual friends and find ways to reconnected with society. Real people, real interaction. You schmooze or you lose.
