Sweden investigating explosive device found at Israeli embassy as suspected terror

Sweden is investigating a foiled attack on the Israeli embassy in Stockholm earlier this week as a “suspected terror crime.”

Embassy staff notified police of a suspicious object on Wednesday, triggering a large response from law enforcement.

The daily Aftonbladet reported, citing unnamed sources, that the object thrown over the embassy fence was believed to be a hand grenade and that it landed close to the building.

The device was later detonated in a controlled manner.
