Sweden Under Siege: Daily blasts rock Swedish cities amid gang turmoil

There seems to be no end to the bombings in Sweden.

Criminal gangs continue to spread terror in Sweden. So far in February there have been daily explosions linked to organized crime.

As people have their homes blown up and are forced to flee in the middle of the night, neither the police nor the government can give clear answers on how to put a stop to the violence.

On February 1, a hand grenade was discovered in an apartment building in the violence-prone district of Gränby in Uppsala, 70 kilometers north of Stockholm. As the grenade was discovered before it was detonated, the police bomb squad was able to destroy it in a controlled explosion.

The police were able to confirm that the grenade was live, and the public within a one-kilometer radius was ordered to stay indoors.

– There was a very loud bang and I got scared, one resident told the Schibsted-owned tabloid Aftonbladet.

The incident is not being investigated as an attempted murder, but as an attempt at general destruction and a violation of the law on flammable and explosive goods.

Sundbyberg

On the night of February 2, it happened again – this time in Sundbyberg, ten kilometers northwest of Stockholm. Several apartments were damaged in a massive explosion, windows were shattered and the door to the apartment was blown away.

–  I saw how the paintings were hanging askew and became interested in what the rest of the place looked like. Then I went to the living room and saw that the balcony window was gone, says 87-year-old Gudrun, who was woken up by the explosion.

Several residents describe feeling unsafe in their neighborhood and fearing more explosions in the future.

– You get desperate and angry. It’s so unnecessary, says a woman who lives in the area.

Vällingby

About 24 hours later, another explosion occurred – this time in an industrial area in Vällingby, about 8 kilometers west of Sundbyberg. Shortly before midnight, an explosion targeted a hairdressing salon, where the door and windows were badly damaged. No one was reportedly injured in the attack.

– It was really unpleasant. I was sitting on the couch and everything was vibrating. It was a very loud bang, a woman in Vällingby told the Schibsted-owned tabloid Aftonbladet.

Sometimes people think we have a civil war in Sweden“, writes ‘Leijf’ on Twitter/X.

Here, too, tenants express concern that they do not know when it will “go off” next, and that this is something that affects their entire daily lives.

– I was out walking when I heard the explosion. I felt the shock wave, says another resident of the area.

Gävle

Late on February 4, an explosive device detonated in a stairwell in Andersberg, Gävle (approximately 170 kilometers north of Stockholm), again in an apartment building. The interior of the building was damaged and the apartment door was destroyed.

The attack is said to be related to a gang conflict between two criminal gangs, the Foxtrot Network and the Dalen Network, and to the drug market in the area.

After the explosion, residents were not allowed to leave their homes for the entire day before police were able to lift the lockdown.

– We have several leads and are actively working to find the perpetrator, police spokesman Mattias Rutegård told local newspaper Gefle Dagblad.

Handen

About 24 hours later, another attack took place – this time in Handen, 22 kilometers south of Stockholm, also at night.

An explosion also occurred at an apartment building where a known gang member is registered – again, no one was reportedly injured, but a number of windows were shattered and the property was damaged.

“You read about explosions every day. You’d think they’re talking about yesterday’s blast, but it’s a new one. Journalists could make a template, a ready-made article, and just insert the current time and location of today’s blast”, writes ‘Urban II’ on Twitter/X.

The criminal living at the address was recently arrested on suspicion of instigating a murder in Jordbro, Haninge, and another attempted murder in Åkersberga.

– I woke up frightened by the bang. I woke my partner and checked on the sleeping children. I crawled around the apartment to check that the front door was locked and that the windows were undamaged, a neighbor told the taxpayer-funded SVT.

Strängnäs

In the early hours of Tuesday, February 6, the terror continued – this time in Finninge, Strängnäs.

Shortly after four o’clock in the morning, the police were alerted to an explosion in a residential area. The bomb squad was called in, a large area was cordoned off and about 20 people were forced to evacuate their homes.

The building was not seriously damaged, but the frightened residents needed crisis support and had to go to a school building that had been opened specifically to care for the temporarily homeless.

“I am thinking of all the residents of Strängnäs in Dammen and Finninge who had to leave their homes at 4 a.m. last night, some of them by climbing out of windows. I know that many people are now helping you and I hope that you will soon be able to return home”, Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson wrote on social media.

The Kurdish Fox

All of the bombings are believed to be linked to organized crime, with at least four of them targeting the Kurdish Fox and the notorious Foxtrot network.

According to taxpayer-funded state media SVT, in several cases the bombings have targeted the homes of people already in custody – meaning that it is not the gang members themselves who are at risk of being killed, but their neighbors and relatives.

In several cases, bombings have also targeted family members of known criminals, although there is no evidence that the gang member himself is present.

It remains to be seen whether explosions will continue on a daily basis for the rest of February, but police officers say they are working hard to stem the tide of violence.

Police warn of persistently high violence in Sweden

organized crime

The current extensive gang-related violence is now to be considered a permanent feature in Sweden, according to police.
3 minute read

After a series of shootings and explosions in the Stockholm area in recent weeks, police do not want to speak of a temporary wave of violence. Instead, the regional police chief describes the situation as a “constantly high level of violence in Sweden”.

Upplands Väsby, Kallhäll, Viksjö, Bromma and Sätra – the list of places in the Stockholm area that have been hit by shootings and bombings recently continues to grow.

Most recently, during the night leading to Wednesday, an extensive police operation was underway in Viksjö, northwest of Stockholm, after a shooting at a gas station where two people were injured. Shortly before, on August 25, two people were shot dead in a car in a parking lot in nearby Kallhäll. Police cannot yet answer whether there are connections between the various incidents.

Despite the recent concentration of violent crimes in northern Stockholm, police do not want to use the term “wave of violence” to describe the development.

— I would rather say that we have seen a number of completed crimes in a short time and with a clear geographical limitation to northern Stockholm, says Magnus Mowitz, regional police chief for Stockholm north, on Swedish public television SVT’s morning show.

He emphasizes that police have simultaneously succeeded in preventing a series of planned violent crimes, but acknowledges the grim reality:

— The term wave of violence is not something we use, however we can see that there are violent crimes that continuously occur. We have a constantly high level of violence in Sweden, he states.

Thousands of gang criminals

Before the 1990s, gang crime was essentially an unknown phenomenon in Sweden, where the organized crime that did exist was mainly linked to motorcycle gangs and where violent confrontations with firearms and explosives on open streets were virtually non-existent. Sweden was long one of Europe’s safest countries with one of the world’s lowest murder rates.

Over the past three decades, however, the situation has changed dramatically. In pace with unlimited mass immigration from conflict-affected areas in the Third World, criminal networks have been established in suburbs around the country.

From being concentrated in the metropolitan areas’ vulnerable neighborhoods, gang crime has now spread to virtually all Swedish cities of any size, and police estimate that today the number of active individuals in the criminal networks amounts to more than 14,000 individuals – from Malmö in the south to Kiruna in the north.

Turning over multi-billion amounts annually

The criminal networks are not only engaged in spectacular bombings and murders. Drug trafficking still forms the backbone of the operations, but the gangs have significantly diversified their criminal activities. Extortion of business owners, particularly in the suburbs, has become increasingly common, and welfare fraud through fake assistance companies and other schemes drain billions from taxpayers every year.

Human trafficking, arms smuggling, theft gangs and receiving stolen goods are also part of the repertoire, while money laundering occurs through real estate investments, currency exchange offices and cryptocurrencies.

Exactly how much money organized crime turns over each year is impossible to answer, but estimates from police suggest it amounts to approximately €9-14 billion annually.

14-year-old “Sophie of Dundee” becomes viral hero – a symbol of Britain’s betrayed children

Deteriorating safety

On social media, AI-generated images are spreading where "Sophie of Dundee" is portrayed as Scottish freedom fighter William Wallace from the movie Braveheart.

A 14-year-old girl from Dundee, Scotland who was arrested for weapon possession after defending her little sister has become a viral hero on social media.

The girl, who wielded an axe and machete to reportedly protect her 12-year-old sister from harassing immigrant men, is now being praised worldwide and has become a symbol of what British children must do when authorities and the adult world have abandoned them.

A 14-year-old girl from Dundee, Scotland has reportedly been arrested for weapon possession after allegedly trying to protect her little sister from adult migrants who reportedly harassed them for weeks.

In a video circulated on social media, the girl, who according to some reports is named Sophie, is seen wielding an axe and a machete while one of the girls screams off-camera:

— Don’t fucking punch my little sister, she’s 12. The confrontation reportedly took place on Saturday afternoon in the Lochee district, where the two immigrant men allegedly filmed the girls as they approached.

Musk: Politicians bear the blame

The incident has caused a major stir on social media where the girl is now being hailed as a Scottish hero, and even Tesla CEO Elon Musk has drawn attention to the case.

“Start by condemning the grovelers and collaborators in positions of authority in Britain who aided the rape epidemic of their own people or turned a blind eye to their responsibilities”, the tech billionaire wrote angrily on platform X, referring to the systematic grooming scandals that have shaken Britain over the years.

On social media, images and AI-generated video clips have spread depicting the girl as a modern version of Scottish hero William Wallace from the film Braveheart. She is being called “Sophie of Dundee,” “Braveheart,” and “Sophie the Brave” by her supporters, who see her as an unwilling symbol of citizens’ desperation when the state has failed and abandoned those who are most vulnerable.

Danish data researcher Jonatan Pallesen called the image of the girl potentially iconic: “The UK has catastrophically failed in protecting their 12-year-old girls… and so this 14-year-old sister must do it”, he writes on X.

“Shouldn’t have to live like this”

Podcaster Basil the Great, who was one of the users who first spread the video, states angrily: “She’s a child. A little girl. Someone’s daughter. And she’s screaming at a grown foreign man to leave her alone. WE SHOULDN’T BE LIVING LIKE THIS!”

The girl has quickly become a symbol of what many Britons see as the state’s total failure to protect its vulnerable citizens – and its children in particular.

“Any government that refuses to protect its daughters is illegitimate. The crown is in the gutter, just waiting for someone to come pick it up”, writes user Dale Stark, summarizing the growing frustration over societal developments.

Authorities’ betrayal continues

According to Scottish police, the girl was arrested around 7:40 PM on Saturday following a report of a “female youth with a bladed weapon” on St Ann Lane in Dundee. She has been charged with weapon possession and will be reported to relevant authorities. The men who reportedly harassed the girls for weeks have allegedly neither been arrested nor investigated, which has also increased the already massive public outcry against the authorities’ actions.

The incident has brought renewed attention to the debate about the extensive grooming scandals in British cities like Rotherham, Rochdale and Oxford, where thousands of young girls were systematically exploited over decades by mainly Pakistani gangs while authorities actively avoided taking action for fear of appearing racist.

Meanwhile, critics emphasize that although older grooming scandals and organized sexual crimes against children committed by immigrant gangs have after many years begun to receive attention in Britain, there is nothing to suggest this belongs to the past. On the contrary, many believe that children are still being subjected to abuse on a massive scale while politicians and authorities choose to ignore or even silence what is happening.

Although the details are still unclear and reports are sometimes contradictory, both regarding the sequence of events and the age of those involved, the incident with the 14-year-old girl from Dundee is viewed by many as further proof that the same pattern continues – where young girls are left to defend themselves while authorities arrest the victims instead of the perpetrators.

Somali teen humiliated 8-year-old in robbery: “Looked like a racist”

Deteriorating safety

Published 25 August 2025

Police in Västerbotten County, northern Sweden, confirm they have seen an increase in humiliation robberies over the past year.
3 minute read

An 8-year-old boy in Umeå, northern Sweden, was subjected to a humiliating robbery where he was forced to remove all his clothes and do push-ups. The 16-year-old perpetrator, originally from Somalia, claims in police interrogation that he targeted the little boy because he “looked like a racist”.

The incident occurred on a Saturday afternoon in May when the 8-year-old boy was out cycling. A 16-year-old from Somalia stopped him on the bike path and threatened to call his friends if the boy didn’t obey his orders.

The child was then forced to strip completely naked and perform push-ups while the 16-year-old played music and cycled around him. Eventually, the 8-year-old managed to flee home through the forest – still naked.

The boy’s father Lenny describes the traumatic moment when his son came home.

— He comes running in completely naked. ‘I’ve been robbed, help’. He’s in a state of panic, says the father, describing the course of events further to Swedish public radio SR.

— It’s a guy, a youth who chases after him and forces him to give up his bike, bike helmet, socks, underwear, shirt. So he’s completely naked and forced to do push-ups.

The parents immediately alerted police who found the boy’s clothes at the scene, but the perpetrator had already disappeared.

Wanted to “beat up” 9-year-old

The weekend after, the boy and his father saw the 16-year-old at a football match. Police were alerted again but arrived only after the match had ended and everyone had left. With the help of the description, Hassan, as the 16-year-old is named, could be identified and arrested.

It then emerged that Hassan had tried to take the bike from another boy, nine years old, two days earlier. In interrogation, he stated that he had intended to “beat him up”.

In the police interrogation, Hassan confirms the course of events but doesn’t believe he committed any crime. He says he “just wanted to see the boy’s reaction” and thought he would resist. He then claims that the real victim is himself – and that he felt targeted by the child’s alleged racism.

— He took it as if I was going to rob him because of my skin color. I’m not saying that’s how it is, but it could be. He doesn’t want to talk to me. If you had been there, you would have seen how he behaved. Like a racist! says Hassan in the interrogation and continues:

— He looked like a racist! I think he’ll vote for SD [Sweden Democrats] when he gets older. I don’t know if that’s what he was thinking, but it could be.

Father: “How can someone be so cowardly?”

The boy’s father is very upset about the incident and the Somali’s cowardly behavior.

— How can someone be so cowardly as to target such a young guy just to humiliate. It’s completely insane, says Lenny.

He also believes that the problem with humiliation robberies is no longer just found in major cities:

— It’s not just about Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö and their various areas. But it also exists here in Umeå unfortunately, you can’t turn a blind eye to the problem.

Sweden Democrats leader: “The new Sweden”

Police in Västerbotten county confirm that they have seen an increase in humiliation robberies recently and that they have investigated about ten similar cases in the past year.

Hassan is now being prosecuted for unlawful coercion and unlawful threats. Under current Swedish legislation, however, he cannot be deported as he has been granted Swedish citizenship.

The brutal case has received significant attention on social media where many are horrified by a societal development where even small children risk being subjected to brutal and traumatizing attacks in broad daylight. Sweden Democrats MP Richard Jomshof is among many who have reacted strongly.

“This is the new Sweden, where Swedes have to accept being humiliated and robbed by imported perpetrators, without anyone caring”, he writes among other things.
