Danish teen charged with plotting to bomb Jewish school

News from Communities

A Danish prosecutor said a 16-year-old girl has been formally charged with planning bomb attacks against two schools in Denmark.

Prosecutor Lise-Lotte Nilas said the teenager is accused of “having made preparations to make bombs” using the explosive known as TATP. She said her targets were a school west of Copenhagen and a Jewish school in the capital.

Police thwarted the plans by arresting the girl in January last year. A trial is set to start on April 7, 2017 in Holbaek, north-west of the Danish capital.

Defence lawyer Michael Juul Eriksen told The Associated Press his client, who twice had been in Syria, would be released later Friday.
