(Reuters) Three Central Asian men have been charged in Sweden with plotting to commit a terrorist crime as well as — along with three others — financing the Islamic State militant group, prosecutors said on Thursday.
“Three (of the suspects) acquired and stored large quantities of chemicals and other equipment in order to, among other things, kill and harm other people. If the terrorist crime had been carried out, it could have seriously hurt Sweden,” the Stockholm prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
It said the six men were from Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, both mainly Muslim, former Soviet republics.
