Omar Abdalla Aboelazm

Omar Abdalla Aboelazm (born 25 May 1980) is a Swedish citizen who was arrested in Denmark in 2010 over a suspected terror plot against the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.[1]

Aboelazm was born in Äppelbo, Vansbro Municipality, Dalarna County, Sweden, to a Swedish mother and an Egyptian father.[1][2][3] He has two half-siblings on his mother's side and five half-siblings on his father's side.[2] One of his half-sisters is a neighbor to Sahbi Zalouti, one of the other suspects who was arrested in the same case.[2] He is unmarried and has no children.[2]

According to an article in Expressen, Aboelazm suffers from Asperger syndrome.[3] In 2000 he was sentenced to psychiatric treatment after an assault in 1999 when he also made sexual advances against a 25-year-old woman.[4] He had then also molested a 23-year-old woman, a 16-year-old girl, a 13-year-old girl and three 15-year-old girls at six different occasions.[4] During a psychiatric examination in 2002, doctors concluded that Aboelazm suffered from a "grave mental disorder" and was in need of "psychiatric treatment associated with deprivation of freedom or other coercion".[4]
