Swedish authorities announced the arrest of a suspect on February 11, 2025, in connection with a terrorist plot in the Stockholm area. The individual was detained on suspicion of preparing terrorist crimes related to violent Islamist extremism.
According to the Swedish police, the suspect is facing charges for planning a terrorist act, participating in a terrorist organization under aggravating circumstances, preparing for an assassination attempt, and planning to violate explosives regulations.
Law enforcement officials emphasized that this investigation is unrelated to any prior cases.
On the morning of February 11, police conducted an operation in the Stockholm region, and the arrest occurred without incident.
This development comes on the heels of the tragic February 5 shooting at an educational institution in Örebro, which resulted in the deaths of 11 people, including the attacker, and left many others injured.
