Key Points
- • Teenager recognized by father on the news after arrest.

In the aftermath of the recent grenade attacks near the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen, the arrest of two Swedish teenagers has sent shockwaves through their families and communities. One of the suspects, a 16-year-old boy, was identified by his father while watching the news. The father described the experience as 'completely absurd' and expressed disbelief over his son’s involvement in such serious accusations of terrorism.
The father acknowledged that his son had been presenting unusual behavior in the weeks leading up to the attack, but he was unaware of any imminent trouble. He noted that the only prior offense his son had was a minor theft, which he dismissed with humor. Compounding the situation, the boy is also under suspicion for a shooting incident at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm shortly before the Copenhagen attack.
Further investigations have revealed a connection between the suspect and a murder in Hallstahammar, which was claimed by a gang known as Foxtrot that has been involved in violent crime. According to the father, his son, who had never shown any political views related to Israel, must have been misled or coerced, highlighting a family grappling with confusion and pain amid serious allegations.
