One person has been killed and two others injured as two explosions rocked the centre of the Swedish capital, Stockholm, police say.

A car blew up near the busy shopping street of Drottninggatan, and another explosion hit nearby minutes later.

Swedish press attributed the second blast to a suicide bomber but police said no cause had yet been determined.

Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said a "terrorist attack" which could have been "truly catastrophic" had failed.

Tweeting on the blasts, he described them as "most worrying".

A local news agency, TT, said it had received an e-mail shortly before the blasts, which said it was now time for Swedish people to die "like our brothers and sisters".

Mats Johansson said the message was addressed to Sweden and the Swedish people.

It included references to caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed drawn by Swedish artist Lars Vilks as well as Sweden's military presence in Afghanistan, Mr Johansson said.

Sweden has 500 soldiers deployed in the country as part of the international peacekeeping force.

Both blasts hit central Stockholm as the streets were busy with people out Christmas shopping.

A man's body was discovered after the second blast.

Unconfirmed reports in Sweden's Aftonbladet newspaper said the man was carrying pipe bombs, as well as a backpack full of nails.

But police spokesman Ulf Johansson told the BBC police would not rush to judgement.

"We need more investigation and of course we need more witnesses to give us the information of what actually has happened," he said.

He said the car had contained gas canisters. "The car exploded with a series of minor explosions and there was also some kind of explosion close up to where we found the dead man," he said.

He said there had been no warning of any attacks and confirmed that two people were lightly injured.

Another police spokesperson said it was unclear if the two blasts were linked.

The identities of the victims have not been released.

A former employee of the Associated Press news agency, Gabriel Gabiro, was close to the second blast.

"I saw some people crying, perhaps from the shock," he told the agency.

"There was a man lying on the ground with blood coming out in the area of his belly, and with his personal belongings scattered around him."

didn't know Sweden had troops in Afghanistan...

[loreen]

We live interesting times....

What the Afghan people live with everyday.

[Dirty Dane]

The one person killed was the terrorist, a young guy from Iraq. Congrats for killing yourself.

[CYF]

That sucks.

[The Duck]

It is good fortune that he totally screwed it up and blew himself up causing no serious damage or injury to others. One less idiot to worry about.

[jigg]

hmmm interesting timing to say the least

[will76]

wonder if they will increase their security measures or leave everything as is so they don't upset any conspiracy theorist.

1 down, a couple hundred thousand more willing to strap bombs to their body and take his place. So what did Sweden do to piss off the terrorist, thought it was just the US that pissed them off perhaps they just don't like anyone who isn't Muslim and from their part of the world.

Who would have thought killing 100s of thousands of innocent women and children would piss people off?

I'm a simply guy but even I know swinging our dick all over the world is going to end in total disaster.

Put the shoe on the other foot for a minute. Imagine Afghanistan invaded your country and was literally murdering 100s of 1000s of innocent citizens. Members of your family killed, your cities blown to fucking bits, you live under martial law, random raids in your house. You'd go postal. I know I would, and would retaliate.

Every country on that list is swinging their little dick because the USA swings a much bigger dick. Not ONE of them would be there otherwise.

However, you also have to understand that not all countries send warriors. Some send doctors, construction workers, mechanics, and so on but are still considered troops because they are in the military. What is even more mind boggling is the amount of private military companies involved, usually under reported if at all.

Sweden has been in Afghanistan since 2002 and have 500 soldiers there (october 2010). These troops are however NOT part of OEF, but are under the lead of ISAF. Sweden leads the PRT Mazari Sharif

Every country on the list still has blood on their hands because they are involved with supporting what is going on, they approve it, they are there or sent support to other who are there. Where are you located ???

For the purposes of this tally, only countries that contribute troops as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom are counted.

Countries which had troops in or supported operations in Iraq at one point but have pulled out since: Nicaragua (Feb. 2004); Spain (late-Apr. 2004); Dominican Republic (early-May 2004); Honduras (late-May 2004); Philippines (~Jul. 19, 2004); Thailand (late-Aug. 2004); New Zealand (late Sep. 2004); Tonga (mid-Dec. 2004) Portugal (mid-Feb. 2005); The Netherlands (Mar. 2005); Hungary (Mar. 2005); Singapore (Mar. 2005); Norway (Oct. 2005); Ukraine (Dec. 2005); Japan (July 17, 2006); Italy (Nov. 2006); Slovakia (Jan 2007).



Just because we pulled our dicks out, you can't blame us for everyone else pulling theirs out too. We did NOT make other countries get involved can't blame us for that too.

[Davy]

It's so aweful. The terrorists are jealous of the Western world - and we'll all end up in a police state because of them.

Have you seen the movie Four Lions?
It's a comedy, but leaves a bad aftertaste at the end.

Everyone is at fault, I won't debate that. But not one of them would be there without USA pressure. The USA started this illegal "war" and made sure all allies were assisting. This entire thing was built on lies told by the USA to the rest of the world who foolishly believed them. What a fine mess they've all made now, and accomplished basically nothing. But lets forget the fact that all of these nations, mostly the USA, have murdered 10s if not 100s of 1000s of civilians. Instead, lets go after Wikileaks, the real criminals.

For some reason 1 of his 6 pipe bombs had gone off too early It seems. He was not in the crowded place he was headed to and the 1 bomb was not enough to send that full backpack of nails flying much It seems..

Oh, fucking hell! get your tiny little head out of the ground! Do you honestly think that? Do you really think that all those countries decided to get involved from their own choice? Do you really think that the u.s. wasn't making tons of behind the scenes chest beating and veiled economical threats or carrot baiting?

[kaori]

I don't think it's dick swinging...
I think the US is really just being proactive in protecting it's interests and religion...
In another 15 years, it would be a much harder battle for them to fight... they're losing a lot of ground to the EU, Middle East, Asia, etc... Not a bad thing if you live in the USA and want world power to remain there...
