A double jihadi work accident…
Luton, England (AP) — A website affiliated with al-Qaida said Tuesday the suicide bomber behind the blasts that shook central Stockholm was targeting a newspaper linked to cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad but one of his bombs exploded too soon.
Taimour Abdulwahab, an Iraqi-born Swede who spent much of the past decade in Britain, died in the botched attack on a busy shopping street late Saturday, terrifying Christmas shoppers.
A writer on the Shumokh al-Islam website wrote Tuesday that one of the bomber’s six gas cylinders in his car exploded prematurely. The writer said the bomber then tried to escape but one of the bombs strapped to his body also exploded too soon.
Neither the writer nor the newspaper was named. Several Swedish papers published the cartoons but Swedish police have declined to say whether any newspapers were the actual target.
