Police destroyed a backpack containing explosives found in central Stockholm late Sunday night, a spokesman for the Swedish authorities said today.
The explosive device was found in a park in the Swedish capital, one of the venues hosting events as part of the city’s annual Cultural Festival (August 17-21).
“Police have determined that the bag found on Sunday in Kungstradgården contained explosives,” the statement said.
The area was cordoned off and the device was neutralized by pyrotechnicians. “Now all its components will be examined. Only after they have been fully examined by the national crime investigation center will we be able to say whether the dangerous object was functional,” explained Erik Åkerlund, the chief of police in Normalm, Stockholm .
