    Its the calling card of multiple terrorist organizations, it's like saying bullets are the calling cards of the mafia.

    I know that, I meant more so due to the fact that the Swedes have forces in Middle East that it would seem more likely they would perform this rather than other terrorist groups there.

    Anyways, I'm only saying IF, we'll wait to see who takes responsibilty for this.

    Wish they would come here and target leinster house and take down our government for us.

    You do realise that realistically they'd target places like O' Connell Street and not Leinster House, right?

    What a horrible thing to say.

    That's a terrible thing to say even on an internet forum. You should be ashamed. Go to sleep.

    Although most of us are unhappy with our current government, this comment is off the rails...

    I wouldn't be to sure about that, the Shannon stop over has a strategic value to the yanks.Therefore we could be viewed as being complicit .

    the CIA targeting wikileaks

    ?
    Im going to take this comment at face value and just say that's very unlikely. Lets forget the fact that the explosion was in a public street and not at a cold war bunker and add the fact that the CIA has much subtler less violent means at their disposal, particularly by the way of cyber warfare. If it had been within a mile of the wikileaks' host facility it would have been there in the headline.

    "CIA targeting innocent Swedish Nationals" :rolleyes:

    Was in stockholm 2 weeks ago at the christmas market , lovely city ........... espechially around galma stan.
    At the time we were booking one of the mates was reluctant to go because he had heard about bomb threats over there at the time.We laughed at him and told him to get a grip.:o
    We went in for a drink on that street...........a bar called pickwicks.Fairly busy pedestrian street when we were there, glad not more people were killed/hurt.


    Hope they get the bastards,before they do it again.

    Terrorist attacks on Leinster House would likely strengthen our government position as the people would rally behind them.

    And in case your too young to remember terrorism in Dublin..



    At 59 seconds there's an account from an eye witness to a lady murdered on South Leinster St. - not a 100mtrs from Leinster House.

    According to some newspapers in sweden, there was a threatening email sent to TT 10 minutes before the explosion, mentioning both Swedish troops in Afghanistan and the artist Lars Vilks (remember his illustration with Muhammed that caused a lot of stirr...)

    The Swedish police have not confirmed that this email and the explosions are linked though.

    Yeah.. mentions it here now

    BTW the area around Pickwicks is totally pedestrianised. The area this happened in isn't. That the first car was parked almost directly outside an underground stop makes me think it was aimed to cause mass death and injury.

    Seems there was a suicide bomber with six charges in a bag but only one or two detonated. Apparently the bag also had a big amount of nails.
    Swedish papers says he was heard shouting in Arabic before the explosion.
    Security police got a warning earlier today the Muslims was going to kill Swedes.
    Everything yet to be confirmed.

    Good thing he didn't manage to get to one of the busier streets.

    That what they say, I prefer to look at their actions. Not much peace there.
    However, this could be the work of a lone crazy man and not backed by any organisation.

    More
    About ten minutes before the explosions an email was sent to TT, although addressed under the Security Service, where a man turns to "Sweden and the Swedish people".

    He refers to the Swedish silence on Lars Vilks paintings, the Swedish soldiers in Afghanistan and says that "now is your children, daughters and sisters to die like that our brothers and sisters and children are dying. "

    "Our actions will speak for themselves. As long as you do not stop your war against Islam and degrading against the prophet and your stupid support
    to pig Vilks, the man says.
    Then the man calls all Muslims in Sweden to "stop suck up and humiliate yourselve. "He ends the message with even a call for "all mujahideen
    in Europe and Sweden ":

    -Now it's time to turn to, wait no longer. Come up with whatever you also if there is a knife and I know that you have more than a knife to
    come up with. Fear not, fear not prison, do not fear death.

    Security Police has not wanted to comment or confirm whether received the email, which contains audio files where both Swedish and Arabic are spoken.

    It's only 0.01% of muslims that are pro bombing. Don't label an entire religion on the actions of a few.
