The bad news is that he managed to injure two innocent people in the process of blowing himself up; the good news was that the injuries were reportedly minor. The first bomb (blew up a car) took place shortly before the second one; it’s unclear whether the second explosion was a suicide vest gone blessedly right (i.e., it was a suicide vest, not a homicide one) or whether the would-be jihadi screwed up placing a charge.
It’s reported that Swedish media received the usual crowing-about-murdering-for-Shaitan** garbage that accompanies this sort of thing; the ostensible reason for their attack was supposedly Sweden’s 500 troop presence in Afghanistan. Or perhaps it was about Swedish cartoons. Either way, the nihilistic boast made by this person or persons was fortunately not quite true this time:
“Our acts will speak for themselves,” TT quoted the message as saying. “Now your children, your daughters and your sisters will die as our brothers, our sisters and our children are dying.”
This time.

Luckily the Swedes have the body of the perpetrator. When their Prime Minister Olaf Palme was assassinated in public among hundreds of people in downtown Stockholm a decade or so ago, the killer escaped and has not been caught to this day. He was rumored to be a Kurd, but the PC Swedes thought investigating for Kurds would look too much like profiling….!!!
The libtard left is utterly entranced by a bunch of detective novels by a left-wing Swedish writer now dead several years. I wonder if the reason for his popularity is the generalized incompetence Swedes have in catching perps, something their left-wing political and social culture predisposes them towards.
