Sweden Charges 3 over Explosives Planted at Israeli Firm
(JNS) Three Swedes who planted an explosive device at the offices of Elbit Systems Sweden in Gothenburg likely acted on behalf of "someone else," prosecutors said on Wednesday. On June 3, Swedish police announced that an unexploded bomb was discovered outside Elbit's office. A day later, security forces detected two suspicious individuals outside Elbit's premises who were carrying an explosive charge. The third suspect stands accused of storing the explosive devices in his home. On Oct. 10, a suspected terrorist opened fire at the Elbit office. Last month, the Swedish intelligence agency SAPO said that Iran may have orchestrated recent terrorist attacks on Israeli targets in the country. In May, the agency confirmed that Tehran was recruiting members of Swedish criminal gangs to commit "acts of violence" against Israelis.
