The High Court over Skåne and Blekinge refers to the Malmö District Court's earlier assessment, namely that there is no evidence to suggest that the 19-year-old "intended to handle an explosive charge".

There were no traces that could be linked to the teenager on or in the can, where the explosive was packed, and in addition, the court considered that there were several circumstances that indicated that he also did not know that there was an explosive charge in the backpack.

The discovery was made on July 2 last year, and after analysis, the Armed Forces found that the bomb in the nut can, as well as the gunpowder with the apertured explosive capsule was a working explosive charge.

The mode of transport is considered to have been particularly dangerous - according to the defense's opinion, such a explosive charge of 0.5 kilograms can destroy a two-room apartment.

In the interrogation, the 19-year-old claimed that he was in Malmö on behalf of another person to collect items that would be transported to Stockholm. In addition to the ap- proached bomb, he also carried a sharpened pistol, a firearm for which he was first sentenced to nine months in prison.

However, the High Court over Skåne and Blekinge mitigates that sentence to two months' imprisonment and custody with reference to the 19-year-old's low age.

The conviction against a co-accused 32-year-old Malmöbo, who according to the prosecutor handed the gun to the 19-year-old, is set at 1 year and 6 months imprisonment for weapons offenses and minor drug offenses.
