One person has been killed and at least one other hurt as two explosions rocked the centre of the Swedish capital, Stockholm, reports say. A car blew up near the busy shopping street of Drottninggatan, and another explosion hit nearby shortly afterwards, AP quoted police as saying. A man's body was discovered after the second blast, the agency reported. Swedish Aftonbladet newspaper showed images of a burning white car. The cause of the blasts is not yet known. Rescue services spokesman Roger Sverndal said the car which exploded had contained gas canisters, AP reported. A former AP worker, Gabriel Gabiro, was close to the second blast. "I saw some people crying, perhaps from the shock," he told the agency. "There was a man lying on the ground with blood coming out in the area of his belly, and with his personal belongings scattered around him."

One country in Europe is gonna blow up about the muslims and the rest will follow in wanting to rid themselves of this disease. It may be the Swedes.

Nothing to see here. Move along, move along.
We don’t know what caused it yet but we’re sure it’s not terrorism.
It’s just a faulty gas can. That means we now have to enact newer more draconian gas can laws than ever before to protect people from themselves.

Most likely Assange’s revenge, but could also be Muslims.

Story updated, there were definitely two different and widely separated incidents:
"One explosion happened at the intersection of Drottninggatan and Olof Palmes Gata. This was the car that exploded multiple times," said police spokeswoman Petra Sjolander.
A second explosion occurred about five minutes later, at the intersection of Drottninggatan and Bryggargatan streets, Sjolander said. A man was found dead at the scene.

Not so fast. Biker gangs fighting for control of drugs have done this before in Stockholm and Copenhagen (Using grenade launchers). Id wait for more info before placing blame, but thats just me. The use of a car bomb - which this was - diverges from the biker gang methodology you mention. And, given the propensity of mo-slimes to use car bombs, I'll go with my original assessment until other evidence presents itself.
