Malmo rocked by ‘explosion’ as police bomb squad seal off apartment complex
2017-11-21
[EXPRESS.CO.UK] The alarm was raised after a suspected kaboom at 23.27pm local time, 22.27 (GMT).

There are currently no reports of any injuries.

Malmo Police said: "On site, we have found damage to two apartment doors and a lift."

The kaboom is believed to have taken place in the stairwell of the apartment building.

Local police do not know the cause of the kaboom and have called in the national bomb squad for advice.

No suspicious packages or items were seen in the stairwell before the kaboom.

The kaboom comes just weeks after a nightclub was devastated by a detonation in the Swedish town.

The bomb squad responded to the kaboom at the Babel nightclub on November 3.

Police chief officer Magnus Lefèvre said: "There has been some kaboom on the club, but we do not know what has been detonated.

"The bomb group and technicians are on your way to investigating it."

The club was closed at the time and no one was injured.

The kaboom followed a similar event almost exactly one year before.
Article updated as of 8:20 a.m. ET:
Police said they were talking to witnesses and the incident is likely to be deemed an act of “gross public delinquency".

Malmo police confiscate over 200 firearms annually

Malmo Police officer Daniel Jonasson said: “It was a big bang. We can not say exactly what kind of charge, but it's no small banger or something like that.

"We have heard a lot of people, but nobody is arrested or retrieved.”

#4  Since it is Malmo, I assume this was done by a member or members of the refugees for the Ummah who have been arriving since at least the 1990s... and causing trouble nearly as long. The question is whether he/they are gang members, jihadis, or a creative youth practicing their craft.

#3  Maybe a can of Surströmming was left unopened too long?

#2  Hydrogen peroxide used instead of lye in the making of "lutefisk"?

Bad batch of lutefisk, you betcha. Apparently the recipe could use some fine-tuning.
