Publicerad 28 apr 2023 · kl 06:09 · 3:05 min

  • Swedish Radio News has gone through all the bombing incidents that took place in Sweden during 2020 and 2021, a total of 186 detonations.

  • The investigation shows that a person was convicted of either planning or carrying out an explosion in just 12 of those cases.

  • Jon Wåhlander, head of operations at the police's national bomb squad, says the current conviction rate is unacceptable.
