#1 One doesn’t accidentally lose a grenade while passing through public spaces, nor is a grenade the kind of thing most boys keep in their pockets. But the Swedes aren’t likely to admit this is jihad unless the owner of the thing is a proved member of ISIS or another jihadi group, with a signed and sealed photo ID to prove it. To admit even the possblity would be antisocially racist, no matter how many of their womenfolk are raped.

#2 Stockholm's police force have said the man was unlikely to have been purposely targeted by whoever left the explosive at the station.

Not that guy in particular, but from the little bit that I know about hand grenades, they are fairly inert unless deliberately armed.

#3 ...I am being told by a reliable acquaintance in Sweden that apparently the criminal class there has taken to using grenades in all manner of crime. Sadly, the Swedish police are apparently more interested in assuring the populace that this has nothing to do with terrorism than actually finding out where the goddamned grenades are coming from.
