In the beginning of June, two explosive devices were placed at the Israeli defense company Elbit Systems in Gothenburg. According to Göteborgs-Posten, they were two so-called thermos bombs.

Now, three people are being prosecuted for suspected involvement in the attempted bombings.

Two people, a 16-year-old boy and a 24-year-old man, are suspected of having placed the explosive devices.

We believe that these two individuals accepted the same assignment and were then paired together. We do not think they knew each other beforehand, says prosecutor Johan Udén to GP.

At the same time, another man is being prosecuted, suspected of having stored one of the explosive devices in his home. All of them deny any wrongdoing.

In the beginning of October, the company's office in Gothenburg was subjected to a shooting. A boy under 15 years old is suspected of having fired the shots.

Later, a 15-year-old boy was arrested, suspected of having ordered the deed, and a man in his 20s, suspected of being an accomplice.
