U.K. arrests man linked to Sweden Christmas bomb

Police say they have arrested a 30-year-old man in Scotland in connection with a suicide bombing in Sweden.

Strathclyde Police said the suspect was detained Tuesday morning in Glasgow as part of an "intelligence-led" operation into the attack in Stockholm in December.

Taimour Abdulwahab, an Iraqi-born Swede who had spent time in Britain, blew himself up and injured two others in a busy shopping street.

Police said the suspect posed no direct threat to Scotland.

At his local mosque in England, Abdulwahab alarmed elders with his extreme views on Islam. On the Internet, he posted videos of Chechen fighters and abused Iraqi prisoners.

Authorities have spent months trying to learn when he was radicalized, whether he had accomplices -- and how a man whose radical views were displayed both online and in person escaped official notice.

Swedish prosecutor Tomas Lindstrand said soon after the attack that Abdulwahab spent much of the past decade in Britain. He said the man was completely unknown to Swedish security police before the blasts, which killed the bomber and injured two others.

Lindstrand said officials would look into why he was not on their radar, but pointed out "that he didn't live in Sweden, he lived in the U.K., he left Sweden maybe 10 years ago."
