A body has been found close to the site of blasts in Stockholm, Sweden
yesterday evening.

According to multiple reports, a car  exploded in Drottninggatan,
Stockholm. Police spokesperson Petra Sjölander said "One explosion
happened at the intersection of Drottninggatan and Olof Palmes Gata," At
least 2 people were treated for minor injuries from the first explosion.
There are conflicting accounts concerning cause.

A second explosion followed at the intersection Drottninggatan and
Bryggargatan according to the same spokesperson, who called this
'suspicious' - "We don't know at this point what caused the second
explosion, we had bomb technicians on site, but I can't give you any
details of what they did."

The body of a male was found close to the site of the second incident,
although any relationship to either incident is still unclear. "I can't
confirm that the death is linked to the car explosion, but I can't rule
it out either" Sjölander stated. 

An eyewitness to the second explosion, Gabriel Gabiro, was reported as
saying "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."

The cause of both blasts is under investigation, police spokesperson Ulf
Johansson saying 'We need more investigation and of course we need more
witnesses to give us the information of what actually has happened'. He
also claimed that there had been 
no warnings.

Despite statements from police, some news sources are raising the
possibility of a terrorist link after apparent warnings were sent to
Swedish news agency TT. The warnings are reported to have contained
references to Swedish involvement in Afghanistan and to the
controversial Lars Vilks  Muhammad cartoons.
