The capital of Sweden Stockholm was shocked by two explosions, as a result of which two people were seriously injured, and one person died. The first explosion sounded in the center of the capital on Brugggargata Street. Terrorists undermined a parked car. The second explosion sounded on the same street, but this time a terrorist was blown up – a suicide bomber. At this stage of the investigation, the police are in no hurry to bind these two incidents.
However, the most interesting thing is that ten minutes before the incidents that occurred, the terrorists sent a letter to one of the city information agencies in which they threatened the country and its inhabitants.
According to the newspaper Aftonblat, according to the police, the terrorist-suicide bomber was heading to Drotningtan Street, where all kinds of stores are located, and now, on the eve of the New Year holidays, there are especially large clusters of people who want to buy gifts from discounts. According to official figures, he had a backpack full of explosives and nails. If he reached the intended place, then it is not known what kind of massacre he arranged there.
According to the stories of witnesses of the second explosion, a terrorist, before bringing the mechanism into action, began to shout out incomprehensible phrases in Arabic. For some reason, the explosives, fixed on his body, disunited, as a result of which, instead of six explosive devices, only one. This helped to avoid serious destruction and mass victims.
This time, terrorist groups developed a new scheme for conducting terrorist attacks: ten minutes before the act of violence they reported this to one Swedish information agency. The letter contained audio files recorded in Arabic and Swedish. In these files, they explained the cause of their deadly shares in Stockholm. The main of them: the lack of the reaction of the Swedish government to the emergence of caricature drawings on the Prophet Muhammad, besides this due to the participation of the Swedish military in Afghan operations.
Recall that three years ago, the Swedish newspaper Nerikes Allehanda published a number of cartoons of the artist Lars Wilks about the Prophet Muhammad. Then this business received a huge resonance among the countries of Western Europe and the Muslim East. In many Muslim countries, this publication provoked a number of manifestations. In addition, the most famous terrorist group in the world of Al-Qaeda put up a reward for the murder of an artist-a cartoonist of one hundred thousand American dollars and fifty thousand dollars for reprisal against the chief editor of the newspaper who published drawings. From that moment the artist has been under the close attention of the Sweden police, since threats have repeatedly came to his address.
