Stockholm Bomber Killed Himself in Blast, Police Say

(Updates with Swedish national broadcaster’s details about suspect in ninth paragraph.)



Dec. 12 (Bloomberg) -- A suspected terrorist bomber killed himself and injured two other people in separate explosions near a central shopping street in Stockholm, police said.



Sweden’s Security Service is investigating the two blasts a few hundred meters apart around 5 p.m. local time yesterday. The first set a car on fire, the second killed the suspect and injured two people, Stockholm police said in a statement on its website today. Shortly before the explosions, police and a Swedish news agency received an e-mail with a sound recordings in Swedish and Arabic from a man who said it was “time to strike” because a “war was being waged against Islam.”

(Yes, the free world doesn't approve of terrorism.

And christoislamism=terrorism.)



“We don’t know yet that the three incidents are connected, even if much evidence points to this,” Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said at a news conference in Stockholm. “It’s important to say that this is unacceptable and very serious, but let’s be patient and let the police and the security police work.” It is important not to victimize groups in society based on presumption, he added.

Stockholm suicide bomber 'may not have acted alone'



Swedish officials are investigating whether Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly was helped in Saturday's attack

The suicide bomber who blew himself up on a street in Stockholm may have had help preparing the attack, Swedish officials said today.



Investigators initially said that Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, an Iraqi-born Swede, appeared to have acted alone during Saturday's bombing, in which he died and two people were hurt.



But they are also "investigating whether there could have been someone else involved in the preparations", though there are no suspects at this point. The Swedish investigators said they were aware of claims made by Iraqi officials that captured insurgents had revealed the suicide bombing was part of attacks being planned by al-Qaida against the US and Europe during the Christmas season.



"We consider it interesting," said Jan Garton, of the SAPO security service. He wouldn't say whether Sweden was in touch with Iraq about the case.



Abdaly spent much of the past decade in Britain and appears to have been radicalised there. SAPO have said he was not among roughly 200 Islamists they had identified in Sweden.



An audio file sent shortly before the blast from his mobile phone referred to Sweden's military presence in Afghanistan and an image by a Swedish artist that depicted the prophet Muhammad as a dog and enraged many Muslims.



They said they had performed an autopsy on Abdaly and analysed the explosives he used, but were not ready to release the results yet. They believe the explosives went off by mistake and that Abdaly may have planned to detonate them in a busier place, such as a shopping centre or railway station.



One theory is that Abdaly had problems with his explosives, and walked off the busy pedestrian street to a side street, "and that's when something happened", Anders Thornberg of SAPO said.

Oh well, just another christoislamaniac. What else is new.



This next news article is the most interesting though, since it has other things to say:

Stockholm bomber: banned extremists recruit near Taimur Abdulwahab al-Abdaly's Luton home

The outlawed Islamist group al-Muhajiroun is openly recruiting near the home of the suicide bomber who blew himself up on a Stockholm street last week, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal.

MI5 and anti-terrorist police are attempting to unravel what transformed the father of three into an extremist.

(Uh... it's called islam. The ideology/brainwashing derives from the koran. Mystery solved.

The latest example of the effect of the koran can be found in the next post.)



But moderate Muslims in Luton, where Iraqi-born Taimour Abdulwahab lived for almost 10 years, claim the authorities are to blame for turning a blind eye to the activities of hard-core jihadi sympathisers.

(Correction: islam is to blame for the jihad. Mohammed and the koran is to blame. The more hard-core the muslim=jihadi, the more faithfully he is following mohammed=koran=allah.)



Unimpeded by the police, the group, now calling itself The Reflect Project, is accused of mounting a campaign of intimidation and violence against those who disagree with it.

(How islamic.)



The group's members are followers of the radical cleric Omar Bakri Muhammad, who is being held in jail in Lebanon on terrorism charges, and are led locally by Ishtiaq Alamgir or Sword of Islam – a former inland revenue accountant.



Earlier this year, Mr Alamgir helped to organise a protest at a homecoming parade in Luton for troops who had served in Afghanistan. The demonstration ended in violence and arrests.



It is illegal to be a member of Bakri's organisation after it was outlawed for glorifying terrorism and for outspoken statements praising the "magnificent" September 11 hijackers.



But Bakri's supporters still regularly set up a stall on the high street near Abdulwahab's family home to try to recruit more young Muslims to their cause.



Last week, gathered around a trestle table after Friday prayers, Mr Alamgir and a dozen other activists handed out anodyne Introduction to Islam leaflets before quickly disappearing when approached by this newspaper.



Carefully written, apparently to avoid breaching anti-terrorism laws, the leaflet's purpose appeared to be to direct prospective recruits to a website containing inflammatory speeches by Bakri and articles against "the terrorist activities of Britain".



Some claim the group was involved with Abdulwahab, whose "will" told his wife and children he had lived for "the last four years with the secret of being mujahid or, as you call it, terrorist".

(Admission that jihad=terrorism=islam.)



The group described Abdulwahab, who studied at the town's university, as a "lone wolf" and denied having anything to do with him.



The group, whose members use an ever-changing variety of names, has been holding rallies in community halls where, until his recent arrest, it was addressed by Bakri over an internet link.



Residents in the mainly Muslim Bury Park area claim Abdulwahab attended these meetings and complain that the government ban has not stopped the group or led to any police action against it.



[color="#0000FF"]Despite public money from the previous government's anti-radicalisation "Prevent" scheme, which is currently under review by the Coalition, MI5 and the police appear to be getting little help or intelligence from the community. It is claimed much of the cash distributed by Prevent in Luton – reported to be £554,000 since 2008 – has either been squandered on schemes not designed to tackle extremists or is the subject of investigations over financial irregularities.[/color]



The Luton Islamic Centre, where Abdulwahab prayed and which forced him out when he attempted to preach about his radical views, admits it did not inform the police.



"We try to work with the extremists, rather than force them underground," a spokesman said yesterday.



Others dismiss the police as powerless. They talk about how an alleged terrorist recruiter, Mohammed Quayyum Khan, known as "Q", moves around the town unimpeded.



Mr Khan has been named in Parliamentary reports and at the Old Bailey and was accused of arranging for the 7/7 plot leader Mohammed Sidique Khan to attend a terrorist training camp. However, he has never been charged with any offence and last week was still working as a minicab driver in Luton, taking children on the "school run" and ferrying hotel guests to the town's busy international airport.



Another local radical is a Pakistani man in his twenties known as Charlie who, it is claimed, has been banned from Britain on national security grounds.



After being recruited in the town, Charlie, who attended a local school and whose family remain in Luton, is now believed to be in Islamabad "driving around in an expensive Land Cruiser with access to lots of money", according to one friend. Others talk darkly of his links to "senior" people in al-Qaeda.



"We fear for our children and the influence these people have on them," said Mohammed Bashir, of the Khadmit welfare centre, whose office is just along the road from where al-Muhajiroun set up its "recruitment centre".



"I have received death threats, threatening phone calls. They have been trying to intimidate me. Threatening violence, threatening to come to my home. They are only a small group, some 20 or 30 people. I even know some of their families. But they won't listen to reason.



"We tell our youngsters not to speak to them, but you cannot watch after your young people all the time. They go to school and to university and it is here that these idiots try to influence them, try to convince them to join them, to spread their hatred."

(That's what happens when people remain in islamania: faithful islamaniacs think they have a right to brainwash your kids into the True Islam. As opposed to the lax non-islam that backsliding pseudo-muslims enter into on occasion. Sensible people have to realise there aren't 2 islams:

Either one agrees with mohammed/koran/allah to kill the kafirs or one doesn't.

In the former case, one is a muslim. In the latter one is a kafir oneself.)



Qurban Hussain, a local councillor and former Lib Dem parliamentary candidate, has also had death threats and has been physically attacked. "During the last election campaign a group of them surrounded my car. They were banging on the windows, shouting abuse and chanting slogans. They think democracy is un-Islamic.



"All the time they were filming it. They were shouting and screaming at me and filming me inside my car – then they put it on the internet. It was so intimidating. I go to Pakistan regularly to see my family and friends. I wondered whether the video was meant for someone there. A message to them saying: 'Here is an unbeliever – deal with him'."

(Mr Hussein realises he is an unbeliever=kafir for participating in democracy, which is haraam. See further below again)



Mr Hussain said the group also stops people attempting to vote. "They will obstruct you, bully and harass you. Throughout the election I was constantly followed, harassed and chanted at. They try to intimidate you and anyone you come across. They do the same to anyone they disagree with."



He said on another occasion a local al-Muhajiroun activist confronted him on the street and allegedly threatened to kill him. "I know the boy. I know his father. But he threatened to kill me," he said. "I reported it to the police but they didn't pursue it."



He said his campaign offices were also attacked, daubed with paint and his posters pulled down. "Last May, on the day of the election they gathered outside my house. They pushed and shoved me and my supporters. There was a scuffle. I feared there was going to be serious violence. My neighbours came out on the streets. People were threatened on the way to the polling station."



Mr Hussain said he had stopped reporting the incidents to the police. "It's a waste of time. They spend two hours taking your statement and then they do nothing."



The father of one activist spoke to The Sunday Telegraph last week. He did not want to be named, apparently afraid of the reaction of his son and his friends. He said: "He will not listen to me. He is not in my control. He once cared about his education, getting a job, helping his community. Now he is lost."



The community has tried to take the law into its own hands. The mosques have confronted them. There are reports of minor scuffles and the al-Muhajiroun activists are now not welcome to pray at any of the local mosques as a group. They are also banned from preaching or trying to recruit people outside the prayer halls.



Instead they set up a table near to Barclays Bank to hand out their literature, welcoming anyone who shows an interest. They talk about Palestine, detention at Guantánamo Bay, and Iraq and Afghanistan. They show jihadi films and invite people to go to a café for a chat and a soft drink. Some call it "grooming".



"Anyone who disagrees is abused. There is no debating with them. They call me a hypocrite," said Mr Hussain, who will be sworn in at the House of Lords in the next few weeks after being awarded a peerage by Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister.

(Hypocrite or not, they should call Mr Hussain a *kafir*. Democracy is kafiri.)



"They are trying to brainwash the young. Fill them with hatred. Something needs to be done to stop them. They are supposedly banned, yet no one is prepared to tackle them, to breach their rights, their freedom of speech."



The Islamic Centre, the Masjid al-Ghurabaa, attended by Abdulwahab until 2007, also claims it has nothing to do with the radicals in Luton. It claims al-Muhajiroun is banned from the mosque and has been since 2000.



Teachings on the mosque's website are radical, many would say extreme. They include a defence of the flogging of a 19-year-old gang-rape victim in Saudi Arabia, and sermons by Abu Usamah at Thahabi, a cleric who has said: "Take that homosexual man and throw him off the mountain."

(And *that* is an example of a mosque that describes itself as having "nothing to do with radicals/radicalism". Scary, nah?

Then again, Leviticus and other anti-human biblical madness is still legally allowed to be part of the babble/gawd's word. Guess the islamics in the UK figure that since it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander.)



Yet the mosque condemns Abdulwahab's attack as "against God" and says it too is "sick" of the al-Muhajiroun activists, who it claims are "protected by the police".

(Oh yes, the usual public display of "we disapprove" when the islamics do approve of the shaheeds and live jihadis.)



The mosque has been distributing its own Refuting Extremism pamphlets attacking the followers of radical clerics including Abu Hamza and Abu Qatada, both of whom are held in British jails on terrorism charges.

(It's only since 2000 that al-Muhajiroun was banned from this mosque. And if they didn't vocally disassociate themselves from it after serving as an initial breeding ground for it, it would mean they were endorsing terrorists currently held in UK prisons. Hardly conducive to their continued operation.

Besides, what's so surprising about islamics refuting their internal competition? Christians also persecute heretic cults. Remember christocults like the anabaptists of I think the Tudor period, and the Donatists, Priscillians, Arians and the rest of the 4th and later centuries, etc?)



Farasat Latif, the mosque secretary, said: "These extremists cause us nothing but problems. People associate our mosque with them although we have nothing to do with them. Their activities led to a firebomb attack on our mosque which caused £40,000 of damage.

(Well, The More Faithful islamics of the NWFP of TSP and of Afghanistan also regularly bomb Paki mosques to send a message to the TSP govt which outwardly pretends to help the US govt crack down on the jihad in its hinterlands.

So nothing surprising. It's what islamania does: when those possessed by islamania can't terrorise others, they terrorise each other - into becoming More Troo-er muslims.)



"We have had physical confrontations with them but the police warn us that we will be arrested if we take the law into our own hands."

(Can hardly blame the UK police for not looking forward to islamaniac riots - inter-islamic though they be. Remember how the Roman police didn't like the bloody inter-christian riots aka massacres either? E.g. Joseph McCabe's memorable description: 'In the year 366 there was an election for the Papacy, which was now very rich. The successful candidate was "St." Damasus, and his methods were such that in one day his men left the corpses of 160 of his rival's supporters on the floor of a small church. The war lasted a week and was so furious that the Roman "police" were swept aside and the prefect driven out of the city.')



Last night a spokesman for Bedfordshire Police said the force was doing all it could to combat extremism. She said it was working with the community "to safeguard individuals (and) build resilience ... against violent extremism and radicalisation". She added: "We continue to undertake work under the national Prevent agenda ... to address any type of extremism."



Police, she said, would "thoroughly investigate complaints received about a small group who give out leaflets in the Luton area and actively gather evidence".



This evidence, she added, was being passed to the Crown Prosecution Service but that "at this time there (had been) no breach of the law or any proscribed order".



She added: "The powers given to the police under the order are very limited. We will continue to constantly monitor the situation and would urge anyone who believes they have witnessed an offence to come forward."



Mr Alamgir refused to answer any questions and failed to return calls left on his mobile telephone.



Last night Anjem Choudary, a former solicitor who founded al-Muhajiroun with Bakri, denied that the group had anything to do with Abdulwahab. He said: "He was a lone wolf. He was nothing to do with my brothers in Luton. We knew nothing about him or his activities."

(Deniability is admittedly very convenient. As can be seen, one doesn't even need to invent an excuse let alone an alibi if one resorts to outright denial.)



Regarding the accusations levelled against the group in Luton, he added: "It is not true that we are intimidating Muslims. But we do take action against those involved in elections. We don't think that elections have any part of being a Muslim. These people are self serving. They are involved with the Government and the local councils and we believe it is right to disrupt them."

(Muslims should listen to ^him^: faithful obviously knows islam. Yes, democracy is a heathen thing. Ref: Hellenismos.)



He said he did not believe that his "brothers" had done anything wrong when they chanted and shouted at election candidates. "They are part of the government," he said. Asked why local mosque elders made similar allegations, he added: "These people are trying to win support from the Government or get money from the local authorities. We oppose this."

(So why do these terrorists imagine they have a right to live in the UK if they refuse to abide by its government and laws? Oh that's right, for the same reason christoislamic terrorists are allowed to continue living in India: they terrorise the unconverted in order to continue terrorising them, so that they can turn the unconverted lands into nations for jeebusjehovallah.)
