Stockholm Bombing

An explosion damaged a residential building in central Stockholm on Monday, police said, and while no injuries were reported it follows a wave of criminal bombings in the country.

A Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) plane carrying 72 people from London to Stockholm was on Friday diverted to Gothenburg and the passengers evacuated, due to a bomb threat which turned out to be false, police said.

Police closed part of Stockholm's main international airport on Tuesday amid media reports of a bomb threat.

A Swedish court sentenced on Friday an Israeli asylum seeker who caused a major bomb scare in Stockholm to two years in prison.

A 43-year-old man who caused a major bomb scare in Stockholm last week was an asylum seeker whose application had been turned down, local media said on Sunday.

A man who had threatened to set off explosives in the heart of Stockholm on Thursday, prompting an hours-long lockdown in the Swedish capital, finally gave himself up to police, a spokesman said.
