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.
The next post will be a recap and updated link set.

SNIPPET: “Both Taimour and Salahudin are linked to the Samir Khan Network, through two different individuals who are themselves linked to two different subsets of that network. While we are on the subject, I should hasten to add that while I call it “the Samir Khan Network” he may not be the most important element in that network. The name is a label, the label has a certain name-recognition and brings to mind a set of associations that should give the viewer a clue as to the sort of folks we are talking about.”

“Swedish suicide bomber trained in Mosul: Iraqi official”
By BILL ROGGIO
January 7, 2011
SNIPPET: “The suicide bomber who attempted to kill people in a failed attack in Stockholm trained in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul along with an Egyptian, according to Iraqi officials.
Taimour Abdulwahab, who killed only himself as his suicide vest detonated prematurely on the streets of Stockholm on Dec. 11, 2010, “trained in Mosul for three months,” according to General Dhai Kanani, the chief of Iraq’s counterterrorism unit. A car bomb assembled by Abdulwahab was also found near the site of his death.
Abdulwahab “entered Iraq from Turkey,” Kanani told Al Arabiya, at about the same time as an Egyptian who is thought to have trained for a similar attack.
“An Egyptian national entered Iraq at the same time and received similar training to probably carry out another mission,” Kanani said.””

SNIPPET: “The second subject, Salahudin Ibn Ja’far, openly identifies with a number of imprisoned or deceased German-nationals involved in terrorist activity, but I have no confirmation that he knew them as well as he and his wife say he did. Ja’far lives in Germany himself, and is married to the American convert to Islam known commonly as “Jihad Kathie” from Indianapolis. What is clear is that Ja’far is strongly linked to those same two YouTube accounts (he was both a friend and a subscriber, the former being a reciprocal relationship). The operator of Mudzahedin23 is a Bosniak claiming to live in Germany, while the operator of isikurdistan has strong connections to Sweden.
Both Taimour and Salahudin are linked to the Samir Khan Network, through two different individuals who are themselves linked to two different subsets of that network.”

“Man held in the UK over Stockholm suicide bomb”
Published: 8 Mar 11 11:43 CET
Updated: 8 Mar 11 13:41 CET
“Police in Scotland have confirmed that a man has been arrested in connection with the suicide bombing in Stockholm in December.”
SNIPPET: “”The investigation so far shows that there may be a connection between the arrested person and the terror crime in Stockholm on December 11th, something the continued investigative work in Scotland will have to show,” the statement added.”
SNIPPET: “Strathclyde police confirmed in a statement on Tuesday that the man was arrested at 6.05am in the Whiteinch area of Glasgow, adding that he was not a UK citizen.
“This has resulted in a 30-year-old foreign national being arrested under the Terrorism Act. The operation centres on a previous incident in Sweden.”
A police spokesperson confirmed that the arrest was made after intelligence gathering which indicated that he had been involved in assisting terror activities outside of Scotland.
There was no direct threat against Scotland, the police confirmed.”

SNIPPET: “There is currently no information regarding whether this man was among Taimour’s readily-observable online associates, however news reports state he visited Taimour on a number of occasions in the weeks/months leading up to the bombing. If they were real-world acquaintances, it is likely they were in online contact as well, but that may not have been plainly visible.
For their part, Swedish authorities continue to claim that Taimour was alone at the time he attempted his multiple bomb attack on Stockholm, and I see no reason to doubt them.”

SNIPPET: “A man who was arrested in Glasgow last week in connection with a bombing in Stockholm has appeared in court, Ezeddeen Al Khaledi, 30, appeared in private at a hearing lasting just over 30 minutes at Glasgow Sheriff Court.”
SNIPPET: “He was charged with eight offences including three under the Terrorism Act (2000).
Among those, he is accused of providing money to Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, a suicide bomber who was found dead following two explosions in a busy shopping centre in Stockholm, the Swedish capital, in December 2010.
He is also accused of opening bank accounts with Lloyds TSB, the Post Office, Halifax Bank of Scotland and Santander and possessing money with the intention that it might be used for the purposes of terrorism.
The nursing student at North Glasgow College is also accused of immigration offences including pretending to be a Kuwaiti national and by deception seeking asylum in the UK.”

SNIPPET: “What follows is a sample of the the data I’ve collected that document binyamine’s activities, his connections, his aliases, and his associations.”
SNIPPET: “Speaking of Samir Khan’s network, binyamine was active on YouTube as “mujahidmedia1”. I would assume he had other accounts there, and now that “mujahidmedia1” has been terminated, I imagine he remains active on YouTube under a new name. Despite the removal of his account, it is possible to identify some of his connections, and those connections tie him to Stockholm suicide bomber Taimour al-Abdaly and Germany’s favorite jihadi poser Salahudin Ibn Ja’far.”

“Terrorist worked in Scottish pubs to bankroll suicide bomb attack in Stockholm”
Jul 21 2012 By Paul O’Hare
SNIPPET: “A TERRORIST took part-time jobs in Glasgow pubs to bankroll a suicide bomb attack.
Algerian Nasserdine Menni worked hard, spent frugally and gave the impression he was saving for a better life – but the truth was far more sinister.
On December 11, 2010, the fruits of his labour – and his illegal benefit claims – made headlines around the world.
At 4.48pm, a car bomb rocked a busy street filled with Christmas shoppers in Sweden’s capital Stockholm.
It was followed 12 minutes later by a second blast as his close friend Taimour Abdulwahab detonated an explosive vest strapped to his torso.”

Algerian Nasserdine Menni was found guilty of supplying money to Taimour Abdulwahab to help fund the suicide bombing in Stockholm in 2010.
