- Suicide bomb attack 'planned years ago' (9 Apr 11)
During the investigation it has emerged that Abdulwahab rang a mobile telephone in Iraq the same day he blew himself up. He also received a call from a mobile telephone in Iraq and then called Menni repeatedly.
Abdulwahab is also reported to have received training in terrorism in Syria and Iraq during the summer 2009. He is also thought to have bought a pressure cooker, fireworks, chemicals, nails, steel balls and other articles of Sweden with which to manufacture explosives.
The Stockholm bomber is reported to have been in contact with Menni since 2003.
Menni is now suspected, aside from having provided finance via various bank accounts, of a long list of criminal offences - including fraud, using false identity documents and breaking immigration laws.
On Wednesday he faced a Glasgow court in a preliminary hearing which ended with a new hearing fixed for January 18th, 2012.

Luckily for people in Stockholm this guy was the world dumbest terrorist.
For the rest I wouldn't worry too much. Happy Niklas, if he was one of hundreds we would have a lot more terrorism here.
Fact is just that more than 99.999% of muslims in the west wants to perform terroristic acts.
Read "Onward Muslim Soldiers" by Robert Spencer. That book has answers to all the questions and the typical muslim behavior pattern.

Fact is just that more than 99.999% of muslims in the west wants to perform terroristic acts.
First tell me the answer, how many Muslims you personally know have done these types of things? I am Muslim even I never seen any person/Muslim around me have done this type of things. I can't believe that these people are Muslims. They are just doing their duty to think people that Muslims are bad and you are the people who actually helping them by believing them they are Muslims. They even not humans who does this.
wants must of course be don't want.
@asifibit
I hope this answers your question. I couldn't edit my first post directly. Anyway from the rest of my post you could have guessed wants was a 'typo'/mistake.
Because like any religious Muslim, his "religion" has political and moral values diametrically opposed to those of his country and urges violence against it's innocent people for the "crime" of disbelief.
