Danish police have formally charged a 16-year-old girl with plotting to bomb two schools, one of which is Jewish.
According to a prosecutor, the girl had planned to used an explosive known as TATP to attack a school west of Copenhagen and a Jewish school in the centre of the city.
The girl was arrested in the village of Kundby, on the island of Zealand, on January 13, 2016 and her trial will begin on April 7, 2017.
According to reports at the time of her arrest, the teenager had recently converted to Islam.
Charges against a 25-year-old man, initially believed to an accomplice, have been dropped.
Defence lawyer Michael Juul Eriksen told the Associated Press his client, who twice had been in Syria, would be released later Friday.
The Jewish school targeted by the girl was Carolineskolen in Copenhagen. She also planned to attack her own school, Sydskolen in Fårevejle.
“The 16-year-old was, according to the indicted, far along in her preparations to bomb two schools. She is charged with having made preparations to make a bomb and for having planned a test explosion,” public prosecutor Lise-Lotte Nilas said.
