The Swedish Army has for the first time been deployed against the escalating gang violence in the country.

A house was bombed this morning near #Stockholm (134th bombing this year).

Military police has been deployed to inspect cars going in and out of the area

The bomb caused severe structures like damages to the house.

Nobody was hurt as the person living there has fled abroad as he is wanted for murder.

Swedish PM Kristersson stated last week that he will ask the army for help after 12 gang murders took place in 2 weeks

The Army hasn’t been used for policing duties since the Ådalen shootings in 1931, when the Army was called in by police to help during a clash with striking workers.

5 ppl were shot dead by the #military, resulting in a political agreement not to use military against civilians

#Iraq expels Swedish ambassador over planned #Quran burning by an Assyrian Iraqi

— "Iraq on Thursday ordered the expulsion of the Swedish ambassador from its territory amid anger over a planned Quran burning in #Stockholm.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani "directed the Foreign Ministry to request the Swedish ambassador to Baghdad to leave the Iraqi territory in response to the Swedish government's repeated permission of burning the Holy Quran," according to a tweet from his media office.

Iraq also suspended the operating license of Swedish telecom giant Ericsson, according to the country's state news agency INA.

Swedish news agency TT reported on Wednesday that police granted an application for a public meeting outside the Iraqi embassy in the capital of Stockholm on Thursday.
The application says an individual seeks to set the Quran and the Iraqi flag alight, TT reported."

A Syrian Muslim who obtained permission from the Swedish police to burn the #Torah and the #Bible in front of the Israeli Embassy in #Stockholm, has chosen not to burn the books.

Ahmet Allus said he wanted to draw attention to the fact that no sacred book should be burned.

"I am a Muslim, and I cannot burn sacred and religious books," he said.

"There is a difference between freedom of expression and insulting ethnic groups. Burning the #Quran and other religious books should be considered a hate crime. I obtained permission from the police for the act of burning the Torah and the Bible to draw attention to this. I have absolutely no intention of burning any religious book."

Israeli officials called on the Swedish government to stop the protest, which is scheduled to take place Saturday outside the diplomatic mission.

#Sweden recently faced strong criticism from #Muslim countries for allowing protesters to burn the #Quran at small anti-Islam demonstrations.

The man who filed the request for Saturday’s protest, said he wanted to burn the Torah and the Bible outside the Israeli Embassy in response to a Quran-burning outside a Stockholm mosque last month by an Iraqi immigrant*."

Got lucky with weather so far. Today is beautiful warm late spring day in Sweden with almost mo clouds in the sky and +15°C temperature.

Sitting and waiting for the bank to meet about my daughter opening a bank account which is almost impossible because of the new imigration rules. But they said they will be able to look into it with a handler without booking time.

Took my daughter to visiyVasa Museum in Stockholm today.

It's probably the 10th time I visited the museum and it was fun watching her joyfully read every text and visit every corner of the "Sweden's and probably Europe's strongest gunship for the whole 20 minutes before it sank".

It feels so good watching her thrive in a walkable city, speaking with people in Swedish (that she learned on her own) and shine like the happiest kid in the world when people respond to her in Swedish and understand what she says and she understands them.
