Stockholm bomber: Police search house in Luton

Police are searching a house in Luton believed to be where a suspected suicide bomber lived before he detonated two explosives in Sweden.

 

Sweden's chief prosecutor said Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, 28, was "98% identified" as the man who died in Stockholm in the second blast.

 

Abdaly had three sets of explosives, and owned a car which exploded first. No arrests have been made and no hazardous materials have been found at the Luton property, police said.

 

A search warrant was executed in Bedfordshire on Sunday night under the Terrorism Act 2000, the Metropolitan Police said. It was unclear where Abdaly's wife and children were.

 

Earlier several newspapers, Swedish websites and an Islamist forum all named Abdaly, an Iraqi-born Swede, as the attacker. Chief prosecutor Tomas Lindstrand told a news conference in Sweden that the body had not yet been formally identified by DNA or a close family member. He did not confirm that Abdaly was born in Iraq.

 

He said the bomber had probably intended to cause an explosion at the main railway station or a city centre department store. "He had three sets of bombs and I don't think his intention was to blow himself up only," he said. "It was a failure, luckily."

 

Two people were injured in the second explosion. Mr Lindstrand also said Abdaly was the registered owner of the car that exploded. Abdaly listed himself on Muslim dating website Muslima as a physical therapy graduate from the University of Bedfordshire, formerly known as the University of Luton.
