Danish authorities have arrested and charged a 30-year-old Syrian asylum seeker living in Sweden, believed to have attempted a terrorist attack last November.

Danish police arrested the 30-year-old on Thursday in a joint operation that also involved members of the Danish intelligence services.

The 20-year-old was charged with terrorism offences earlier this year and is believed to have links to the Islamic State.
