Gothenburg, 15 Oct. (AKI) - Two Al-Qaeda-linked Swedish jihadists of Somali origins were charged with plotting a terrorist attack on Friday, Swedish prosecutors said. The two suspects were charged at a court in Swedens' [sic] southern city of Gothenburg.

The plot involved suicide attacks in Somalia, with the aim of "murder" or "maiming" a large number of people and causing "massive damage to property," the charge sheet said....



The two suspects were in contact with Al-Shabab leader Yassin Ismail Ahmed, according to prosecutors....

The second suspect was preparing for a future suicide mission, according to prosecutors....
