The threats against the Israeli embassy

Swedes are suspected of terrorist crimes in Copenhagen

The two Swedes who were detained in Denmark for the explosions at the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen are also suspected of terrorist crimes, according to Danish police.

"The two Swedish citizens who were indicted for the explosions in Hellerup earlier this week have now also been indicted for violating §114 of the Penal Code, as there has been a basis for this," the police write on X.

The Swedes were arrested earlier this week after two explosions occurred near the Israeli embassy in Denmark early Wednesday. According to information to Reuters, it concerns two teenagers, 16 and 19 years old.

According to prosecutor Cecilia Holmbom, there is a connection between the crime in Copenhagen and Tuesday evening's shooting at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm.

- But I can't say what kind of connection it is, she told TT yesterday.

The two Swedes deny the accusations, according to Danmarks Radio.

After the crime: Denmark tightens border controls

Denmark tightens border controls after the events of the past few days in Stockholm and Copenhagen, writes Danish TV2 and refers to a press release from Danish police.

The reason is Wednesday's explosions at the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen and the shooting at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm last Tuesday.

According to TV2, the focus will be on preventing new violent crimes, including through random sampling of vehicles and arrivals from Sweden and Germany.

- The latest developments unfortunately confirm that the terrorist threat against Denmark is serious, says Peter Ekebjærg, chief commissioner at the National Police in Denmark.

Two Swedes, 16 and 19 years old, are in custody on suspicion of terrorist offenses in Denmark after the explosions in Copenhagen. They deny any crime, according to DR.
