Suicide bomber in Sweden lived in Britain
This serves as another clue to how Britain's willing to allow terrorists to make it a hub for operations. From Reuters (via Jihad Watch):
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - British police were searching a house in southern England on Monday as part of investigations into two explosions in Stockholm which Swedish authorities said they were treating as an act of terrorism.[...]The mosque he went to in Luton claims they threw him out for his extremist views (also via Jihad Watch). But frankly, I don't buy it. The really sad part is that it's unlikely they'll arrest any suspects in this case. Even the Tories, alas, aren't particularly reliable.
Swedish daily Expressen said on Monday the dead man had planned to set off three devices, including one at the main railway station and one at a large department store.
The man was named on an intelligence website as Taymour Abdulwahab, an Iraqi who had studied in Britain. Police have not identified him.[...]
Following reports that the man had a Facebook entry and a profile on a Muslim dating website which said he had spent time in Britain, British police said they were examining a house in the town of Luton under the terrorism act. The house has been cordoned off.
"No arrests have been made and no hazardous materials found," a police statement said.[...]
The man had planned to blow up his car but also had 12 pipe bombs strapped to him and a bomb in a rucksack, it said.
"It is clear that he was trying to create as much chaos and hurt as many people as possible," Expressen quoted a police source as saying.
