2016 Kundby bomb plot: what Wikipedia removed

A 15-year-old Danish convert to Islam plotted to bomb two schools in Denmark, including a Jewish school in Copenhagen. Through October 2023 the opening said she had converted to Islam and became an enthusiastic supporter of jihad and of ISIS. The word jihad does not appear anywhere in the article today; the opening now only names her and states police found bomb-making chemicals in her home. A reader today learns that a Jewish school was a target and not that the plotter was described as an enthusiastic supporter of jihad and ISIS.

The word “jihad” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2020. Today it appears nowhere in the article at all, references included. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
