Swedish police evacuated buildings and blocked off streets in Tensta, a suburb of Stockholm, after a man was spotted wearing a suspected bomb belt.
"The man was reported as having some kind of explosive on a belt round his stomach," a police spokesman said.
Police, who have not said if the device is real, say the man claims he was kidnapped three days ago and that someone else put the belt on him.
One witness told Swedish media the man had been seen sitting crying.
"He behaved in a weird way and just sat there crying," Jasser Mohammed Ali, who works at a nearby shop, told Swedish news agency TT.
"He has something around his waist and in his hand."
A bomb squad unit is at the scene, police said.
All surrounding buildings in the northern suburb have been evacuated and large parts of the area cordoned off.
Bomb belt bump
Nothing to see here.
This is a publicity stunt for "24" because the producers announced at the Heritage Foundation event that next season's terrorists would be Swedish.
Do you think he might be a soccer fan?
Let me guess...a crazed Methodist?

LOL And Christian and blond and fair, of course.
I was hoping it was a dispirited Al Gore.
Naw. In Sweden, he's got to be a Lutheran.
"Hi. We're The Swedish Bikini Team."
"We just love guys named Habib."
"Sit in back and enjoy us as we ride down a bumpy road."

Two years after an Erie pizza delivery man robbed a bank and then was killed when a bomb clamped to his neck exploded, the FBI has made no arrests in the bizarre and complex case but has developed "promising" leads following more than 1,000 interviews, the agent overseeing the investigation said.
While he sat handcuffed begging to have the cuffs removed so that he might try to remove the device. Yup...I remember.

Sounds like a movie or a TV prgram I saw once...
Someone set him up the belt.
