In the 11 December 2010 Stockholm bombings, two bombs exploded in central Stockholm, killing the bomber. Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs Carl Bildt and the Swedish Security Service (SÄPO) described the bombings as acts of terrorism.〔 Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, an Iraqi-born Swedish citizen, is suspected of carrying out the bombing.〔 The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation described the event as the first suicide attack in the Nordic countries linked to Islamic terrorism.〔 On 8March 2011, Strathclyde Police in Scotland arrested 30-year-old Nasserdine Menni in the Whiteinch area of Glasgow in connection with the Stockholm bombing. Menni was arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 for "aiding terrorist activity" outside Scotland and was held at the Helen Street police station, the most secure police station in the country. == Bombings == The first explosion occurred at 16:48 CET, when an Audi 80 Avant automobile exploded at the intersection of Olof Palmes gata and Drottninggatan. According to firefighters the car contained bottles of liquefied petroleum gas, which resulted in several more explosions.〔 Two people at the site of the explosion were hospitalized with minor injuries.〔 The second explosion occurred at about 17:00 CET at the intersection of Bryggargatan and Drottninggatan.〔 A man’s body, with blast wounds on his abdomen, was discovered nearby.〔 According to a police spokesman, the man blew himself up.〔 According to ''Aftonbladet'', he carried six pipe bombs; only one exploded, killing him. Near the man, a metal pipe and a rucksack filled with metal fasteners and an unknown substance (suspected to be an explosive) were found. According to witnesses, the bomber was "shouting something in Arabic" before detonating the bomb. Closed-circuit television footage of the second explosion was released the following day by ''Aftonbladet''. At the time of the explosions, central Stockholm was filled with Christmas shoppers and thousands of people were in the vicinity.〔 Foreign Minister Bildt expressed his concern that if the attack had been successful, the result could have been "truly catastrophic."〔 The bombings followed a November increase in the terror-alert level in Sweden (from low to elevated) because of a "shift in activities among Swedish-based groups".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2010 Stockholm bombings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
