In February 2016 20-year old Aydin Sevigin was arrested, and in June 2016 convicted for plotting to carry out a bombing attack using a homemade pressure cooker bomb containing shrapnel. The plot was possibly ISIS-inspired.[1]
Sevigin grew up in the upscale Stockholm suburb of Danderyd.[2]
Surveillance footage from IKEA showed him purchasing a pressure cooker.[2] "Six bottles of acetone, a mobile phone, duct tape and bullets" were discovered in a police raid on his property.[1]
In June 2015, a member of Sevigin's family called police to say that he had gone missing.[2][1] Shortly thereafter Sevigin traveled to Turkey twice, both times he was deported by Turkish authorities on suspicion of intending to join ISIS in Syria.[2][1] He is known to have downloaded ISIS propaganda and bomb-making instructions.[1]
He was sentenced to 5 years in prison.[2]
