Report: Bag found during Stockholm festival held real bomb
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice in Sweden say a bag was found in a downtown Stockholm park during an annual cultural festival and added that the National Bomb Squad investigated. Police decline to comment on its contents but the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet says it contained a bomb.
The finding prompted police to cordon off the area while traffic was briefly re-directed. Police say that “the technical investigation has been completed” but decline to comment on what the bag contained.
Aftonbladet says it was a bomb and it was found near the Cafe Opera, a famous nightclub.
The five-day Stockholm Culture Festival ended Sunday with a concert by Iranian pop singer Ebi, whose real name is Ebrahim Hamedi and who is a known Iranian dissident.
