| Bomb explodes at Swedish hotel, 1 injured |
| 2008-11-05 |
| A homemade bomb exploded Tuesday at a hotel in the central Swedish city of Vasteras, seriously injuring one person, police said. Police spokesman Per Stromback described the bomb as a homemade device that used gunpowder. He said it went off in the kitchen of a hotel near the Vasteras airport just after 9 p.m. (2000 GMT), causing a small fire that was quickly put out. The building was evacuated, Stromback said. News agency TT reported that the injured person was a student trying to build a bomb in the kitchen of the hotel, which was being used as a dormitory for students at a local high school. The student suffered serious burns on both arms and damaged his hearing, TT said. Police could not immediately confirm the report. |

| #7 I knew a student in high school in NY (c. 1969) who lost several fingers while building a bomb. A protest against the War. Heh. |

| #4 This appears to be a case of stupidity, rather than anything criminal. The muzzies would have probably tried to build TATP, which is much more explosive than gunpowder. TATP is just slightly more stable than nitroglycerine, and equally as deadly. It also produces some fumes during production that are not good for people or other living things, including plants. |

| #3 Bombs in Sveden ? This would not in any way be related to their newly imported guests, would it ? Not all cats are grey. There's also organised crime and warfare between motorcyle gangs. |

| #2 I'll wait for the Henning Mankell book to see what really happened and who did it. |
