(AP) Two Swedish teenagers who were arrested in connection with last month’s predawn explosions near the Israeli Embassy in Copenhagen faced preliminary charges of terror on Thursday, Danish media reported.
The charges come before formal charges and allow authorities to detain suspects during an investigation. The teens, aged 17 and 19, were arrested in early October after two hand grenades were thrown at the embassy. No one was injured and the explosions, about a 100 meters (yards) from the diplomatic mission, damaged the terrace of another building.
Danish broadcaster DR reported Thursday from a court session that the preliminary charges allege the pair intended to kill people in or around the Israeli Embassy.
