A suspected bomb blast which tore through an apartment block, injuring 20 people in the Swedish city of Gothenburg in the early hours of Tuesday has reignited the country’s debate over rampant gang violence.
Police say that an explosive device was ‘probably’ placed at the scene, with sources revealing that an officer who recently testified at a major gang trial lived in the building.
Prime Minister Stefan Lofven refused to ‘speculate’ but it’s hard to blame Swedes for rushing to conclusions: more than 200 explosions and 360 shootings reverberated through their cities in 2020.
