Three terror suspects charged in Denmark over suspected Islamic State bomb plot

Three people have been charged with attempted terrorism in Denmark and accused of gathering chemicals and other materials to make a bomb.

Danish prosecutors said the plan was foiled when two men, aged 22 and 23 from the Copenhagen area, were arrested in December 2019. A woman aged 39 was also detained.

Police believe they were planning to build one or more bombs for an attack on an unknown target, either in Denmark or in another country.

“We believe the three people had acquired chemicals and materials that enabled them to manufacture explosives that were to be used in a terrorist attack,” said Lise-Lotte Nilas, the public prosecutor in Copenhagen.
