A man in his 30s has been arrested for involvement in the planned attack on the Israeli defense company Elbit Systems' office in southern Gothenburg, reports Dagens industri.

It was on June 3 that the police, by seizing an explosive charge, prevented a bombing outside the office building.

Two young men have been arrested earlier in the case, suspected of, among other things, preparation for gross general endangerment.

The now-arrested man was apprehended on Tuesday in his apartment south of Gothenburg.

The police found explosives that led to suspicions of gross crime against the law on flammable and explosive goods, says prosecutor Bengt-Olof Berggren to the newspaper.

The man is also suspected of having continued to plan a new bombing at the company after June 3.

The man denies the crime.
