1 of 2 Swedish synagogue firebomb suspects released

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A Swedish prosecutor says one of two men held for allegedly throwing firebombs at a synagogue in the Swedish city of Goteborg has been released.

Stina Lundqvist says the 18-year-old man, who is not further identified in line with Swedish practice, remains a suspect in the December 16 attack in Sweden’s second largest city.

She says there is not sufficient evidence to keep him jailed while police investigate the attack. No one was injured and the firebombs didn’t damage the building.
