(AFP) Swedish prosecutors said Monday they had charged three people with alleged ties to the Islamic State (IS) of plotting terrorist acts, including against Jewish interests, and seeking minors to carry them out.
The trio, as well as a fourth suspect, were also charged with being members of IS, which Sweden has proscribed as a terrorist organisation, and aggravated weapons offences, the Swedish Prosecution Agency and intelligence service Sapo said in separate statements.
Among the four were two brothers aged 23 and 25, who converted to Islam shortly before their arrest.
The eldest received instructions from IS in Somalia to “kill as many infidels as possible, with Jewish targets as the main targets,” according to the indictment.
