Two arrested after shooting at Israeli embassy

They are suspected of aiding and abetting this crime and must be interviewed by the public defender, says prosecutor Rasmus Öman, who leads the investigation. The May 17 incident is one of those that the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad has singled out as an Iranian commission job. According to the information, which was reported by The Jerusalem Post, among others, the criminal network Rumba, led by the wanted Ismail Abdo from Uppsala, carried out the shooting on behalf of Iran. The information has not been commented on by the prosecutor. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the investigation other than that it is ongoing, says Öman. In the past, another person has been served with suspicion of aiding and abetting a serious weapons crime in the case, but that person has not been detained. A boy under the age of 15 who was arrested shortly after the incident is suspected of having fired the shots. As he is not a criminal, he is not a formal suspect in the investigation. The security police have confirmed Israel’s information that Swedish gang criminals are being used by the Iranian intelligence service to commit violent crimes in Sweden directed against Jewish and Israeli interests, however without naming specific networks or events.
