Swedish authorities have charged a young adult with planning an ISIS-inspired attack on a festival.

An 18-year-old man has been charged in Sweden for planning a terrorist attack on a cultural festival in Stockholm in the name of the Islamic State.

Prosecutors say he studied how to make explosives, bought materials and a body camera and scouted the attack site. Authorities believe the arrest in February prevented a major attack.

The suspect, who had repeatedly sworn allegiance to IS, will go on trial next week alongside a 17-year-old also accused of terrorism-related crimes.
