First exploded a car at the busy shopping street Drottninggatan in central Stockholm. Then came another explosion some distance away and one man died. According to news agency TT, the man had blown himself to death. There was a bag on the ground filled with nails, according to newspaper Expressen.
Alarm calls poured in to the Emergency Services from concerned residents about the explosions in central Stockholm on Saturday afternoon. But the initial info from the police was extremely unclear. First there was talk of two cars that exploded, later it proved to be just one...
At Bryggargatan a man was found dead. According to news agency TT the police assume that the man was not damaged in the car explosion, but that he somehow blasted himself.
According to the police there was a bag at the site, but that is unconfirmed information. According to newspaper Expressen the bag will be filled with nails. Witnesses have seen how the police bomb squad robot has been taking care of the bag. There is also information that the bomb squad continues to look for explosives at the deceased man.
At least four ambulances were sent to the scene. Two people were taken to hospital with minor injuries, they were in the vicinity of the explosions. The adjacent streets are cordoned off....
After the explosions in central Stockholm, the Security Service and the Stockholm Police are in a meeting. There is still much confusion after the explosions. The Security Service do not want to make any statement in the current situation, and neither want to go out with information about if safety measures have been increased in Stockholm.

No Muslim immigration. I don’t know about their treatment of the Muslim population.

'Now the Islamic state has been created. We now exist here in Europe and in Sweden. We are a reality. I don't want to say more about this. Our actions will speak for themselves.'
According to something called the “Islamic Center” in Malmö, there are around 45,000 people “with a muslim background” there. That’s around 7% of the population. However, there are parts of Malmö, like Rosengård, where 86% have a foreign background (both parents from another country), many of which are muslims.
I wonder when that survey was taken?
It looked that high to me 8 years ago.
OK, 45,000 being 7% sounded real inaccurate to me so I checked the latest city census-—258,000 in ‘05. So, assuming the “Islamic Center” is being truthful, that represents 17%.
My contacts insist that it is much higher and mention a serious case of “white flight” in recent years.
The only way to settle the matter is to take a trip, I suppose, and that is overdue. But NOT in winter.
Yes.

“Taimour al-Abdaly AKA Taimour Abdul Wahab [redacted]”

SNIPPET: “[Taimour says he’s bored w/FB 5 Feb. 2010. He got less bored after March 2010. Coincidence perhaps. Videos prior to this point buried by Facebook code (probably deleted as a consequence of Taimour’s account being ‘retired’).]
When examining the videos (above) pay particular attention to the extent that they expose the viewer to explicit violence. Such exposure is linked to an individual’s willingness to support or even engage in a martyrdom operation, as seen in both academic research and also in those al-Qaida in Iraq foreign volunteers who chose the martyr career track over the fighter career track. Of course willingness and ability are by no means synonymous.”
Thank you Anglian.
