STOCKHOLM: An 18-year-old man on trial for plotting a terrorist attack admitted on Tuesday to planning a bombing at a large cultural festival in Stockholm, his lawyer said.
The man, who holds dual Swedish and Syrian citizenship, had sworn loyalty to the Daesh group several times, according to the prosecution.
Lawyer Johan Akermark told AFP his client had pleaded guilty to charges of planning a terrorist crime and planning serious crimes involving flammable and explosive goods.
The young man was also facing charges, alongside a 17-year-old who was also a Syrian-Swedish dual citizen, of attempted murder in Germany in August 2024.
Akermark told AFP his client denied the attempted murder charge.
