<p>Detectives are hunting the accomplices of the British-based Stockholm suicide bomber.</p>
<p>Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, 28, killed himself and wounded two people in a botched attack in the Swedish capital on Saturday afternoon.</p>
<p>The Swedish authorities said the failed bombing appeared &#8220;well-planned&#8221; and they are working on the assumption that the Iraq-born Bedfordshire University graduate was helped by others.</p>
<p>Police are now minutely examining material left by the bomber for clues about his accomplices. This includes an audio message emailed to police and a Swedish news agency before the attack in which a man thought to be Abdulwahab warns that &#8220;we are for real and do now exist among you Europeans&#8221;.</p>
<p>There is speculation among counter-terrorism experts that a cough on the recording, believed to have been sent from the extremist&#8217;s mobile phone, may have been made by another person.</p>
<p>Jihadist websites were filled with grotesque tributes to the bomber, including poems and epitaphs describing him as a &#8220;hero martyr&#8221;.</p>
<p>Swedish officials said on Monday that Abdulwahab apparently carried out his mission alone but had backing from others.</p>
<p>Chief public prosecutor Tomas Lindstrand said: &#8220;We know from previous experience that this type of crime usually involves more than one individual. The attack appears to have been well-planned, and we assume that the suicide bomber had accomplices.&#8221;</p>
<p>Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt told BBC2&#8217;s Newsnight that the authorities were making an &#8220;intensive&#8221; effort to discover who was working with Abdulwahab. &#8220;It might be that he was operating on that particular night alone, but it might be that preparations and training or whatever was part of a wider network,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That is obviously something that the authorities are extremely keen to try to find out.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Bildt added that Stockholm avoided a massive catastrophe by only a matter of minutes. &#8220;It looks like he was heading into probably the most crowded place in Stockholm at the most crowded time of the year,&#8221; he said. &#8220;He was heading into a place where, if he had exploded all the ordnance he had with him &#8211; and that was quite substantial &#8211; it would have been mass casualties of a sort we haven&#8217;t seen in Europe for quite some time.&#8221;</p>
