Hey guys,
So I heard a massive explosion last night and found out this morning that a bomb had exploded outside my local club - Blue Moon Bar.
I also heard that no one was seriously injured.
What puzzles me is that there is no news of it that I can find anywhere!

I recently moved to Västerås a month ago and have loved what I've seen. However, if this is a regular occurance that there is no news of it in the paper or internet I don't feel comfortable being out at these times - Which is a big part of my lifestyle.

Any further news anyone has would be great! Hopefully you can correct me if I'm wrong!

etc, etc

Three windows broken. By the limited damage and the location of the blast (on the backside) it sounds mafia/gang related, i.e. a warning to the owner.

There was some mention of it on tv4 news this morning,not much detailing tho! They were awaiting on professionals to come from Stockholm or something? I've lived in Västerås for over a year now and have nothing but positive things to say about the place really..blue moon bar's a bit naff but no reason to bomb the place! Is there much damage??

Yeah that's what I thought. Either that or a disgruntled customer that has had enough with the bouncers...

Sorry, I didn't search in Swedish, that's probably why :S

Nothing much positive about a country that knowingly has allowed virtually all of its nightlife to fall into the hands of the Mafia.

They are even allowed to police it in their own disgusting way, whilst the whimpish and possibly paid for Swedish cops turn a blind eye and sit in their cosy offices stuffing their faces or discussing their next holiday.

Everyone give a round of applause for the guy who clearly needs it.

Well done buddy. Well done.

Sorry to anyone who was also confused that the day is now longer than 24 hours.

I was completely wrong and should shoot myself. The time was kl 00.20 not kl 24.20.

Everyone relax! There is still only 24 hours in a day.
