UPDATE: Finnish YLE mentions gas canisters in one car and fireworks in another, but no Swede, nor Finn for that matter buys fireworks that many weeks before New Years. Two separate cars indicate something planned. And there are never any explosions in central Stockholm, ever. Thanks to Reinhard for added insight´.
Car explodes in central Stockholm, 2 injured
NEWSVINE: STOCKHOLM — Two explosions shook central Stockholm on Saturday, injuring two people and causing panic, rescue officials said.
Police spokeswoman Petra Sjolander said a car exploded on Drottninggatan, a busy shopping street in the center of the city, injuring one person. Shortly afterward, a second explosion was heard higher up on the same street, and a man was found injured on the ground, she said.
Police said it was unclear what caused the second explosion. Rescue services spokesman, Roger Sverndal said the car that exploded contained gas canisters. Another rescue services spokesman, Bengt Norberg said two people had been taken to the hospital with injuries.
Gabriel Gabiro, a former AP staffer, was inside a watch store on the opposite side of the street of the second explosion when it went off and saw people running from the site.
“I saw some people crying, perhaps from the shock,” he said. “There was a man lying on the ground with blood coming out in the area of his belly, and with his personal belongings scattered around him.”
“It shook the store that I was in,” he said of the blast. “Then there was smoke and gun powder coming into the store.”
