On December 11, 2010, the first-ever suicide bombing in Scandinavia occurred when Taimour Abdulwahab, an Iraqi-born Muslim with a wife and children in Great Britain, blew himself up on a busy shopping street in Stockholm during Christmas holiday.
After the failed attack the bomber’s family insisted his widow, Mona Thwany, and her three children were the real victims obecause they will “live with the stigma” for the rest of their lives, relations said.
Today police arrested Mona Thwany on suspicion of helping to prepare for the Stockholm attack.
