U.S. Sends Seven FBI Bomb Experts to Sweden; Will Probe Suicide Attack by Islam Extremist

The FBI is sending seven bomb experts to Sweden to help investigate the weekend suicide attack by an Islamic extremist, the Swedish Wire website reports today (December 13, 2010).

The suicide bomber caused the twin blasts in a busy area of downtown Stockholm on Saturday evening (December 11), killing one person and injuring two others.

An Islamic website has named Taymour Abdelwahab as the attacker.

In messages before the blasts, the bomber said he targeted Sweden because of its military presence in Afghanistan and its support of Lars Vilks, who drew the Prophet Mohammed with the body of a dog in 2007.
