<p>A car explosion which appeared to be a suicide attack injured two people and killed the apparent bomber in Stockholm.</p>
<p>Stockholm Police spokeswoman Petra Sjolander said a car exploded near Drottninggatan, a busy shopping street in the centre of the city. Shortly afterwards, a second explosion was heard on the same street and a man was found with injuries. He was later pronounced dead.</p>
<p>Sjolander said it was unclear what caused the second explosion and whether the two blasts were linked, but said a police bomb squad has been sent to the site.</p>
<p>Ten minutes before the blasts, Swedish news agency TT received an email saying &#8220;the time has come to take action.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the news agency, the email referred to Sweden&#8217;s silence surrounding artist Lars Vilk&#8217;s drawing of Muhammad as a dog and its soldiers in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now your children, daughters and sisters shall die like our brothers and sisters and children are dying,&#8221; the news agency quoted the email as saying.</p>
<p>Police said they were aware of the email, which had also been addressed to Sweden&#8217;s security police, but couldn&#8217;t immediately confirm a link to the explosions.</p>
<p>Rescue services spokesman Roger Sverndal said the car that exploded contained gas canisters.</p>
<p>Sweden &#8211; which has so far been spared any large terrorist attacks &#8211; raised its terror threat alert level from low to elevated in October because of &#8220;a shift in activities&#8221; among Swedish-based groups that could be plotting attacks there.</p>
<p>The security police said then that the terrorism threat in Sweden remained low compared to that in other European countries, and no attack was imminent.</p>
