Faris Al Abdullah, now 19 years old, planned to carry out a terrorist attack in the name of the Islamic State (IS) in Kungsträdgården in August 2025. The court of appeal has increased Faris Al Abdullah's prison sentence to nine years and ten months. According to prosecutors, Faris Al Abdullah traveled from Sweden to Germany together with a younger comrade and, according to a mission he believed came from IS, attempted to kill a man there in August.
Two men, one of them IS-linked Faris Al Abdullah, were convicted last winter for, among other things, preparation for murder of a man in Germany. The specific evidence supporting the allegations, the original sentences before the appeal, the grounds for the sentence increase, the outcome of the attempted murder, and the current legal status of the younger comrade and the other convicted man remain unclear.
