A young woman is suspected of two bombings in Gothenburg at the end of August.

She was arrested on Monday more or less red-handed, with explosive goods on her, reports Göteborgs-Posten.

The woman has now been remanded in custody, suspected of two cases of public dangerous devastation and three cases of gross violation of the Act on Flammable and Explosive Goods.

The two explosions she is suspected of occurred in Kålltorp and Kortedala respectively. No one was physically harmed.

Whether the woman was preparing another explosion when she was arrested is unclear.

– We don’t know that. But if a person who is already suspected of two explosions is caught with additional explosive goods on him, then you never know what can happen, says prosecutor Helena Treiberg Claeson to GP.
