Sweden?
What did the Swedes do to garner attention from terrorists? It just seems really odd to me, do they even have a role in the WOT? Does Sweden have a history of terrorist attacks or plots? Pretty scary how the two individuals had access to the plant for several days. The articles state that the two were contractors hired to do maintenance work on one of the facility's three reactors and that they are Swedish citizens as well.

I wonder how lax security is there compared to other nuclear facilities
around the world. How easy would it be for other individuals to attempt.

TATP is new to me, but it looks like its a pretty popular explosive:

TATP was used by the four suicide bombers who killed 52 subway and bus passengers in London on July 7, 2005. Richard Reid, the would-be British "shoe bomber," tried unsuccessfully to detonate TATP on an airliner in 2001, and authorities say an alleged ring of Islamic militants planned to blow up as many as 10 London-to-U.S. flights in 2006 with TATP bombs.

In the United States, the FBI says ecoterrorists and extremist animal rights groups are believed to use similar explosives. The agency considers peroxide explosives the most likely weapon that terrorists will try to use against the U.S.

Great find Hellmutt

I was wondering the same thing.. why Sweden?
But perhaps it's the cartoon thing, or it's just because they were able to get in there versus getting access to any other nuclear plant.

Very scary....

This one is already getting buried and covered up. There was explosive recovered from the perp. There were bomb threats called in to the plant. The media is white washing this people, wake up.

It is one of two things:

1. An actual attempt.

2. A false flag, so we won't believe alsquida smuggled the three suitcase nukes across the border from mexico with the help of the MS-13 street gang.

I think either is just as bad. They may be trying to trick us into thinking they have not purchased suitcase nukes. We need to watch this close.

It's obvious why Sweden.

Fear.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Terrorism isn't as much the impact of an attack, but the message it sends out. A bomb goes off in London and it's tragic, but kind of expected. If you bomb somewhere which has no ties or has never done anything wrong, you've achieved fear.

People will realise that no-where is safe and that's what terrorists want. To terrorise.

As usual, we need to wait for more details before jumping to conclusions. The article said both arrested people were Swedish citizens, I would like to find out more details about them before making judgements.

The suspects have been released. The police won't say much, and it's not clear whether they are still suspects. I guess they're not, since they got released. However, the reactors are still down (!) and reactor O1 are still to be searched for explosives. This is very strange. Whatever the outcome, someone will receive a huge bill for this.

Think about it folks. The bag was used for carrying toilet gear. TATP is made from ingredients common in toilet itims. The 'A' stands for Acetone, the 'P' for Peroxid. Ingredients to be found in most bathrooms.

I don't know about TATP but it sounds as if the authorities are pretty confident in the residue found. I am guessing that the TATP gives off a different chemical signiture then just the components of it. More info is needed.

Yeh, 5 million SKR aday per reactor, two closed down on the second day now, 20 million SKR so far, about 3,5 million USD.

Nothing too costly in the War of Terror, because this is just a reminder to keep up the fear. IMO, they could have found some ethnic welder to make it more convincing.

Also of course it's to press Oskarshamn to install full security measures.

What bothers me about these kind of stories, the alarm goes off and put the world on alert --that's the message-- it is reported worldwide, but when it all fizzles out no one reports it. I just checked Bloomberg; they have timestamps, "last updated 15:37 EDT," a liittle more than an hour ago, and no mention of the suspects being released.

The message has been delivered: BE AFRAID! ...and so it'll remain from Moldovia to Chicago.

I would call conspiracy here, and Vattenfall AB sure is part of Bilderberg, Comitee of 300, etc.

Maybe it's the Russians? Ref.: The bird flu thread and the Russian virus expert/"spy"...

I haven't seen any reference whatsoever to the names, nationalities, or religious persuasion of either suspect. In the US that's a sure sign they are muslim.

Have I just missed this in the stories released so far?
