Scotland: 30 Year-Old Muslim Man Arrested In Connection With Failed Stockholm Suicide Attack

from Jihad Watch:

Scotland: "30-year-old man" arrested in connection with failed Stockholm suicide attack


Huh. Maybe you really should "never trust anyone over 30." Except the actual bomber was 28. So there must be something else driving this plot. Golly. "Arrest in Glasgow over Stockholm bombing," from BBC News, March 8 (thanks to Alexandre):



A 30-year-old man has been arrested in Glasgow in connection with a suicide bombing in Sweden.

Police detained the foreign national under the Terrorism Act during an intelligence-led raid in the city's Whiteinch area at about 0605 GMT.

Two people were hurt in two blasts in Stockholm in December. A man was later found dead with an explosive device.

The Stockholm bomber was named as 28-year-old Iraqi-born Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, who lived in Luton.

He previously attended the University of Bedfordshire.

The attack was believed to be the first suicide bombing in Sweden's history.

'Well planned'

Detectives in Britain and Sweden have been investigating whether Abdulwahab was supported by others or acted as a lone attacker.

Officials said at the time the bombing appeared "well-planned" and worked on the assumption that he was helped by others.

The man detained in Glasgow is suspected of "aiding terrorist activities outwith Scotland".Posted by Marisol on March 8, 2011 8:14 AM
