Two explosions killed a man and injured two people in a busy shopping area in Stockholm on Saturday evening after an email sent to a news agency threatened retaliation for Sweden's military presence in Afghanistan.
Police spokesman Kjell Lindgren said it was possible that the dead man had blown himself up, but this had not been confirmed by investigators. Swedish media reported that he had killed himself with a bomb.

Why are we in Afghanistan? Why is Sweden in Afghanistan? All we do when we kill Muslims is make more Muslims want to kill us. While we fight against tax cuts for the rich, we're fighting with indiscriminate lethal force all over the Muslim world.
And this is the consequence:
The managing editor of Swedish news agency TT told the BBC his organisation had received an e-mail shortly before the blasts that said it was now time for Swedish people to die "like our brothers and sisters".
Mats Johansson said the message was addressed to Sweden and the Swedish people.
It included references to caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed drawn by Swedish artist Lars Vilks as well as Sweden's military presence in Afghanistan, Mr Johansson said.
"Our actions will talk for themselves. As long as you do not end your war against Islam and humiliation of the prophet and your stupid support for the pig Vilks," Reuters quoted the message as saying.
They see it as a war against Islam, against the most important aspect of their existence. They see minarets banned, the niqab banned in an ever-growing number of countries and communities, hate cartoons of the Prophet.
Most people in Afghanistan don't even know that 9/11 happened, and think that we're simply on a crusade against Islam.
We need to get out, and soon.
