On 11 December 2010, two bombs exploded in central Stockholm, killing the bomber.[1][2][3] Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs Carl Bildt and the Swedish Security Service (SÄPO) described the bombings as acts of terrorism.[1][4]

Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, an Iraqi-born Swedish citizen, is suspected of carrying out the bombing.[5][6]

According to investigations by FBI, the bombing would likely have killed between 30 and 40 people had it succeeded, and it is thought that al-Abdaly operated with a network.[7]

Europol categorized the attack as Islamist terrorism.[8]
