Swedish teens face serious charges after Copenhagen embassy incident
Danish authorities brought terror-related charges against two young Swedes following embassy-area blasts in Copenhagen. The teens remain in custody while investigators gather evidence
Last month a pair of hand-grenades exploded near Copenhagens Israeli Embassy causing minor building damage but no injuries (the blasts hit about 100-meters from the embassy building)
Danish law-enforcement took quick action arresting two Swedish nationals — a 17-year-old and 19-year-old suspect — in early oct. The teens now face pre-trial terror charges which lets investigators keep them in custody during the fact-finding process
The explosions damaged a nearby buildings terrace; however the embassy itself wasnt directly affected by the incident. Local authorities moved fast to secure the area and started a thorough investigation of what they consider a serious security breach
The preliminary charges represent an important step in Danish legal procedures: they dont equal formal accusations but serve as a tool for continued detention while police gather more evidence. The suspects remain in custody as the investigation moves forward
