A Danish court has sentenced two Swedish nationals to lengthy prison terms for detonating hand grenades near the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen in October 2024. The men, aged 18 and 21, were convicted of terrorism and attempted murder after the explosives exploded on the terrace of a nearby residential building, causing no injuries. Authorities stated that the pair acted on behalf of a criminal gang and not out of ideological motives, as both admitted to throwing the grenades for financial reasons. The court's decision was not unanimous, with some dissent among judges and jurors regarding the terrorism charge. Both men plan to appeal the verdicts, which also include deportation to Sweden after serving their sentences.
