Two Swedish citizens jailed in Denmark for grenade attack near Israeli embassy

Two Swedish citizens were jailed on Tuesday for throwing grenades at Israel’s embassy in Denmark in October 2024.

A Copenhagen court sentenced an 18-year-old to 12 years in prison and a 21-year-old to 14 years after finding them guilty of terrorism and attempted murder in the incident.

The court also ruled that the pair — aged 16 and 18 at the time — planned the attack together with one or more unidentified accomplices from a criminal network in Sweden.

In the early hours of 2 October 2024, the pair threw two hand grenades in the direction of the Israeli embassy in the Danish capital.
