Sweden Lets 5 Suspects Held In Killing Of Quran-Burning Activist Go Free
[ZeroHedge] Iraqi refugee and anti-Islam activist Salwan Momika was rubbed out overnight on Wednesday, shockingly as he was in the middle of a live-stream in his apartment.

Five people had immediately been arrested in connection with the murder. Suspicion has been raised over the obvious likelihood that Islamic hardliners took his life, given Momika had become well-known for holding regular Koran-burning events. He would also upload videos of this ultra-provocative religious offense towards Islam to the internet.

It's unclear what specific evidence police had on the five suspects, for example whether they were actually apprehended at the apartment grounds where the killing took place. The speed at which they were arrested, within hours of Momika's death being revealed, strongly suggests they may have been linked to the scene.

But shockingly, the suspects who have not been named, have been released. "A Swedish prosecutor said on Friday he had decided to release from detention five suspects who were held over the killing on Wednesday of an anti-Islam campaigner," Rooters confirms.

Meanwhile the police are presenting it as a case of the evidence being thin:

While five suspects were initially apprehended by police, the suspicion against them had weakened as the investigation progressed, Senior Prosecutor Rasmus Oman said in a statement on Friday.

The five were, however, still subject to further investigation, Oman said.

Also interesting is that Swedish police have raised the possibility of foreign involvement in the killing.
