Sweden sees 'suicide attack' on city

A car explosion and what appeared to be a suicide attack injured two people, killed the apparent bomber and caused panic among Christmas shoppers in Stockholm.

Police spokeswoman Petra Sjolander said a car exploded near Drottninggatan, a busy shopping street in the centre of the city yesterday. Shortly afterwards, a second explosion was heard higher up on the same street and a man was found injured on the ground. He was later pronounced dead.
