Three Rogaland teens charged over alleged murder plot linked to Middle East network

In a case before the Sør-Rogaland tingrett, three Rogaland teenagers face accusations of supporting a planned Foxtrot-linked killing in England last March. According to the prosecution, the 17-year-old acted as a middleman, recruiting the 19-year-old and arranging the travel, while the 18-year-old escorted the suspect to Sola airport and helped obtain an emergency passport. The oldest defendant is alleged to have transferred money to the English operative via Revolut and to have thrown a Molotov cocktail at a school in an attempt to avoid a more serious assignment. All three deny intent, with the younger two saying they thought the assignment was either a prank or drug-related, and the 19-year-old asserting he was pressured by a Swedish-language network that exploited his vulnerable situation.
