(AFP) Danish prosecutors on Monday charged two men and one woman for acquiring guns and chemicals for explosives believed to be intended for a “terror attack.”
The three suspects, two men aged 34 and 36 and a woman aged 31, hailed from the Holbaek area west of Copenhagen, according to Denmark’s Prosecution Service.
The trio were among 14 people arrested in Denmark and Germany in a February 2021 sting by Danish and German authorities, which they said foiled a potential Islamist attack.
“The three individuals had acquired several operational weapons and ammunition,” prosecutor Lise-Lotte Nilas said in a statement.
“In addition, they acquired chemicals and materials that enabled them to manufacture explosives that we believe would be used in a terror attack,” she added.
