The trial for eight men accused of involvement in a series of bombings in Sweden began on Monday.
These attacks, which occurred in September 2023, resulted in the death of 24-year-old Soha Saad in Fullerö, Uppsala, and caused significant damage in Hässelby and Linköping.
The bombings are linked to a violent conflict within the Foxtrot criminal network.
One of the accused, a 23-year-old man, admitted to planting the bomb that killed Saad but denied intending to murder her.
The trial, expected to last until mid-October, will explore charges including murder, attempted murder, and violations of explosive materials laws.
Prosecutors argue that the bombings were targeted attacks related to gang rivalries.
