Attacker killed after assault on guard at Israeli embassy in Belgrade

A knife-wielding attacker was shot dead by police after assaulting an officer guarding the Israeli embassy in Belgrade shortly after midnight on 28 Oct. The officer was wounded in the face and is reported to be in minor condition. Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic says the attacker was a minor who shouted "Allahu Akbar" and was believed to back the Islamic State group. Serbia and Israel classify the incident as a terrorist attack, and Serbia has raised its threat level to red, the highest, with more police deployed at key sites. It is the second attack on the embassy in two years.
