The Stockholm suicide bomber recorded a shocking audio message in which he warned “our actions will speak for themselves”.
Speaking with an English accent, the man can be heard warning that an “Islamic state” has been created and many will die.
The sinister voice is believed to be Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, who disappeared from his family home in Luton around two weeks ago.
The Iraqi-born Swede is at the centre of an international counter-terrorism inquiry involving police and security services in Britain and Sweden. Investigators are focusing on how al-Abdaly was radicalised from an apparently happy family man to a suspected murderous fanatic.
His beauty stylist wife and three young children were bundled out of his rented three-bedroom family home in Luton by police in the early hours on Monday.
Officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command have been scouring the Argyll Avenue home for clues after executing a search warrant on Sunday night. Police are also examining his studies at the University of Bedfordshire and an apparent clash with members of a mosque in the town.
The audio message was sent in an email to the security police and Swedish news agency TT shortly before two bombs exploded in Stockholm on Saturday. The terrorist attacked Sweden’s support for the war in Afghanistan and an image by a Swedish artist who depicted the Prophet Mohammed as a dog.
Accusing Sweden of failing to oppose this, he said: “So will your children, daughters, brothers and sisters die, like our brothers, sister and children die. Now the Islamic state has been created. We now exist here in Europe and in Sweden. We are a reality. I don’t want to say more about this. Our actions will speak for themselves.”
The man also warned that the “Islamic state” had begun to “fulfil its promises” and warned that the oppression of Muslims “will not be tolerated”.
Two people were wounded in central Stockholm in what appeared to be the first suicide bombing in the history of the country. Police suspect the man responsible attempted to detonate a car bomb in a busy shopping street before killing himself with a suicide vest.
