Neo-Nazis charged

STOCKHOLM: Three men with links to a Swedish neoNazi group (Nordic Resistance Movement) were charged for two bomb blasts in Sweden targeting asylum seekers and a left-wing group, but the acts did not constitute terrorism, prosecutors said yesterday.

Two were charged with attempted murder or aggravated assault, while all three were charged with public endangerment and attempting to cause general havoc. They denied the charges.

The three-day trial at the district court in Gothenburg will open on June 21.
