A man is sentenced to 4.5 years in prison after being arrested earlier this year at the travel center in Linköping with over five kilograms of explosives on him, reports P4 Östergötland.

The man, who is 35 years old, is convicted of a serious offense against the law on flammable and explosive substances. He is also convicted of minor drug offenses as he was under the influence at the time of the arrest.

He admits to the crime. However, he claims that he believed the bag contained drugs and that he did not know or intend for the explosives to be used for criminal purposes.
