This is a new one:
Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt talks at a press conference Sunday, in Stockholm following Saturday's attack in the city center. Swedish police said Sunday that two explosions in central Stockholm were an act of terrorism, in what appeared to be the first attack in the Nordic country by a suicide bomber.It's significant how quickly Swedes discovered the T word in their vocabulary. And it will be interesting to know how they relate to this article headline in Christian Science Monitor, with "terror crimes" being put in quotation marks.
One man, who appears to have been a suicide bomber, was killed, and two people were injured. The explosions occurred about ten minutes after a Swedish news agency and police received a threatening e-mail that referred to Sweden’s troops in Afghanistan and a Swedish cartoonist's controversial 2007 depiction of the Prophet Muhammad.

Notice that they use the "T" word, but no mention of the "I" word.
Any guess as to what religion the bombers might have been? - First clue is that they were concerned about cartoons of Mohammed, which is strange as they couldn't have been muslims as we all know that Islam is a religion of peace, so I'm guessing that they were Lutherin, possibly Anglican.
One step at a time, Michael. It's a big enough step forward for Swedes to recognize the T word, let alone that next letter you mention.
Oh, and re the bombers: I guess some kind of Adventists or summat...
The "I" word, Michael? Are you referring to Individualists? (joke)
No, I thinks it's Industrialists...
