COPENHAGEN — Danish prosecutors say a 31-year-old man has been charged with planning to explode one or more bombs in Copenhagen and stabbing random people with kitchen knives.
Prosecutor Anders Riisager says the man, who was not identified, “had participated in ordering components that would be used to produce one or more bombs.”
The man worked with an accomplice, Dieab Khadigah, who was sentenced by a German court in July 2017 to six-and-a-half years in prison.
Khadigah was arrested in Germany as he tried to enter Denmark with a backpack containing 17,000 matches, 17 batteries, fireworks, two kitchen knives and six walkie-talkies that the 31-year-old man had ordered.
Riisager says the trial of the new suspect is scheduled for Jan. 22.
