Teenagers Charged with Planning Explosive Attacks in Oslo Linked to Foxtrot Network

Two teenagers face charges for allegedly conspiring with the criminal network Foxtrot to carry out explosive attacks across Oslo. The indictment details an agreement made between the end of September 2025 and their apprehension, during which they were 16 and 17 years old, to receive and detonate explosives at various locations within the Norwegian capital.

One of the accused, an 18-year-old, denies any wrongdoing. His lawyer, Helene Haugland, stated that her client does not admit guilt and declined to comment further on the specifics of the case. The defense for the 17-year-old, represented by Morten Furuholmen, also declined to comment on the indictment but indicated that the younger defendant denied guilt upon his arrest.

While the indictment does not specify exact dates or locations for the planned attacks, police inspector Unni Byberg Malmin has previously suggested that such cases are often interconnected with other violent assignments occurring around the same period. This suggests the alleged plot may be part of a broader pattern of criminal activity.

The trial for the two teenagers is set to take place on August 18 and 19 at the Haugaland and Sunnhordaland District Court. The proceedings will aim to clarify the extent of their involvement with the Foxtrot network and the specifics of the alleged plot.
