(Local) A 31-year-old Syrian man with a Swedish address is currently on trial on terror charges at Copenhagen City Court.
Two kitchen knives, fireworks, batteries and 17,460 matches were among the equipment the man, who lives in Malmö, planned to use to attack people at random in the Danish capital, according to the charges to be brought in the trial, which began on Tuesday.
The man denies the charges, but his defence lawyer declined to go into further detail prior to the commencement of the trial.
“He has asked me not to make any statement,” lawyer Karin D. Svenningsen said.
The 31-year-old Syrian has been held in custody for over a year.
