Swedish Teens Face Terror Charges in Denmark

Published: 2024-10-05

Two Swedish teenagers, aged 16 and 19, have been detained in Denmark on suspicion of terrorism following explosions near the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen.

The pair allegedly handled five hand grenades, two of which detonated, prompting a significant police operation.

Danish authorities have intensified border controls with Sweden and Germany in response to the heightened threat level.

The incidents are believed to be linked to a shooting at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm the previous night.

The attacks are suspected to be orchestrated by the Foxtrot network, reportedly acting on behalf of Iran.

This development underscores the serious terror threat facing Denmark, as stated by Danish police officials.
