Swedish police thwart bombing attempt at Stockholm train station

STOCKHOLM —Swedish police closed on Wednesday evening a number of shops in Stockholm, after founding a high-risk object.

A man and a woman in their 30s were arrested on suspicion of “violating legislation on inflammable and explosive products,” prosecutor Carolina Frohm stated.

She added that they had been accused of an “aggravated offence and the planned destruction of property.”

They were reportedly traveling to northern Sweden with a homemade bomb hidden in a bag, as well as drugs and a knife, according to the Aftonbladet newspaper.

The bomb was found in the northern section of the train station.

The police evacuated the surrounding area and called the engineering teams specialized in dismantling explosives.

In other news, the media outlets reported the arrest of 2 Swedish nationals in Copenhagen, Denmark after seizing various weapons in their possession.

They are currently in Danish prisons, awaiting court decisions against them.

Sweden is still under constant threat, due to the constant clashes among the armed groups.
