Three persons charged in Sweden with preparation of IS-linked terrorist crime


STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish prosecutors have charged three persons with preparation of terrorist crime with links to Islamic State (IS), they said on Monday.

The Swedish Prosecution Authority said in a statement it had also charged the three, and one more person, with being members of a terrorist organisation, and that the suspected crimes took place between September 2023 and March 2024.

"The investigation shows that the terrorist crimes have international links to IS, mainly IS in Somalia, but also to people under terrorist-related investigation abroad," it said.
