'One dead' after Stockholm blasts
BBC ^ | 12-11-10 | staff

Posted on 12/11/2010 11:24:46 AM PST by atomic conspiracy

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."

Don’t you just love it when the media lies repeatedly and predictably?

Time to develop independent sources. Or can you not get straight information from the authorities, get raw police reports, that sort of thing?

We’ll if you’re hunting Great Whites one technique I’ve seen with my own eyes is to get the shark to half eat a gas canister and then you shoot the canister - boom dead shark.

It may have been something like that.

Key points from that report:

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.

Obviously, multicultural bliss is not yet perfect. So, Sweden will have to import even more Muslims.

You know, I think it’s time for a tagline change. I’ve been running this one for a couple of years.

good point - I try to make myself consider other possibilities in these moments before much detail is available, but it’s always safe to assume the ROP is behind the latest terrorist outrages
