Danish girl charged with planning bomb attacks

COPENHAGEN — A Danish prosecutor says a 16-year-old girl has been formally charged with planning bomb attacks against two schools in Denmark.

Prosecutor Lise-Lotte Nilas says the teenager is accused of “having made preparations to make bombs” using the explosive known as TATP.

Police thwarted the plans by arresting the girl on January 13. A trial is set to start on April 7, 2017 in Holbaek, northwest of the Danish capital. —
