The thermos bomb was then taken care of by the police's national bomb squad and was blown to pieces.

By placing the thermos bomb with remote detonation and simultaneously knocking on the door to lure those who were in the house to the door, the suspects have made themselves guilty of attempted murder, according to the prosecutor.

They are also being charged with attempted aggravated general endangerment and aggravated crime against the law on fire hazardous and explosive goods.

One of the men is also being charged with having thrown a live hand grenade at an apartment window on May 6. The grenade exploded inside the apartment, but no one was injured.

Another of the men, together with a fourth person, according to the indictment, threw Molotov cocktails at a car in Tygelsjö outside Malmö on July 23. They are also being charged with having thrown a bottle with flammable liquid at a house on the same address. The car was fire-damaged, but the house never caught fire.
