This paragraph is buried in SMH's article on Wood which contains few new details about that Aussie's experience.

I've composed my own headline for this more interesting story.

Tsk tsk, how politically incorrect. I hope the bounty hunters get the ones responsible - and a few more terrorists, as well.

I'm betting the Swedish government arrests him and charges him with attempted murder.

Ping to the Swedish Ping List.

Any word in the Swedish media on this?

Iraq needs a version of "The Untouchables" if they are to get a handle on this problem. As the terrorists attack civilians more and more, the population is wiseing up to who their real enemy is.

Sounds to me as if these islam-a-nazies have succeeded in converting this tolerating/liberal into a justice seeking conservative.

Nice idea, but more than likely that money went down a black hole. It may even end up in the hands of the people he's supposedly trying to track down. Remember, Jack Idema is the poster boy for this line of work.

Go Jihad on HIM willya?
And he's contributing to the economy by hiring individuals who ' take out trash' for a living!
Didn't we used to have agents who did that kinda thing?
Mossad lessons, anyone???

Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun
With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray

Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war
Fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore
For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees
They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese

Roland the Thompson gunner...

His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest
But of all the Thompson gunners Roland was the best
So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead
That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head

Roland the headless Thompson gunner (Time, time, time
For another peaceful war
Norway's bravest son But time stands still for Roland
'Til he evens up the score)
They can still see his headless body stalking through the night
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in
He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg

Roland the headless Thompson gunner...

The eternal Thompson gunner, still wandering through the night
Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight
In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley
Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun
And bought it

If (God forbid) I was ever looking for people to do a job like that I would try to contact some ex-Massad folks if possible. Those guys seemed to be very good at that sort of thing.

IIRC every last one of the terrorists who murdered the Israeli Olympic athletes back in the 1970s was tracked down and killed by the Massad. That's what I call Old Testament style eye-for-an-eye justice.
