CBC News - World - Blasts rock Swedish capital

At least one person, reportedly a suicide bomber, was killed when two blasts went off Saturday in a busy shopping district in the Swedish capital of Stockholm.

One of the blasts was thought to be related to a car bomb, in which two people were injured.

Swedish media also reported that a suicide bomber blew himself up about 200 metres from the car. The man apparently had canisters on him and shouted in Arabic before the blast.

Swedish media were also reportedly sent a threatening email before the blast, criticizing the role of Swedish soldiers in Afghanistan and urging Muslims to take action.

It is not yet known if the email and the explosions are linked.

I thought this was worth posting, as this is the first time Sweden has been attacked since the war on terror began. We don't know yet if the person who suicide bombed was in relation to Al Qaeda, militant Islam, or was just person disgruntled by the war. More details are unfolding.
 
I hope no one was harmed, and may the bomber rest in hell.

I don't see why they would want to attack Sweden though :confused:
 
I would have bet on Malmo as thye first target, myself.
 
I think it's funny that you think that the anticipation of the inevitable Obama bash is a defense of Obama.

I've made it clear, many many times, that I'm not a fan of Obama.

I guess I should stop using big words and stick to monosyllabic grunts. :lol:

Maybe he was just pissed that Ikea furniture falls apart after a couple of weeks.
 
Dual bombing, first a car filled with gas canisters, then a suicide bomber.
Apparently because of Swedish involvement in Afghanistan.
 
Why Sweden? :(

Oh god, stuff like this makes me doubt even more. The stupidity of some people
 
Why on earth would the violent zealotry of tiny fraction of Islam's avowed followers cause you to doubt your own faith?

yet, you wasted no time, coming to his defense, in a thread that has nothing to do with him.

I believe that, it's because she's realizing that there are literally millions of people, within the Muslim community that could do something to end this extremism, but don't.
 
Something being?

Eradicate the extremists, perhaps?

There are a billion Muslims, worldwide. I don't buy into the notion that none of them can do anything to rid their religion of the extremists.

What exactly are they supposed to do that we, with all of our democracy and high-end military technology, haven't been able to manage?

Funny, since you aren't a Liberal, nor an Obama fan, that you, "anticipated", the, "inevitable Obama bash".
 
No, that's really not funny. Obama literally can't win, no matter what he does. It's been proven time and time again on this very board.

Deny them sanctuary. The Muslims community is the exact place that the extremists hide within, Without that sactuary, the extremist are ****ed.

Excommunicate anyone that remotely defends the extremism. Muslims all over the world go into apology mode, everytime there is a terrorist attack. Muslims stick together. I think that loyalty to one another is going to be their downfall.

Stop with the excuses and own up to what's going on within their own religion. Stop defending the motives. Laila has defended the motives of terrorists numerous times.

Take political correctness out of the picture. Everytime there's an attack launched by a Muslim, people swarm to defend Islam. Face the fact, that there are millions of Muslims that support what the terrorists are doing. Notice how Laila didn't have much of a problem with the motives for the attacks, when it was America, "The Great Satan"? Now that it's innocent little politicallay correct Sweden, it's suddenly cating doubt on her faith.

These are just the first steps in defeating the terrorists.
