Blast 'hits Turkish building' in Sweden

Source: SBS

Swedish media are reporting that a blast has damaged a Turkish cultural building in Stockholm, on the same day that a car bomb in Ankara killed 28 people.

An explosion has severely damaged a Turkish cultural association building in a Stockholm suburb, Swedish media are reporting.

All the windows of the centre were blown out, newspaper Aftonbladet reported on its website, quoting police, adding there was no information about whether there were injuries.

Twenty-eight people were killed and dozens wounded in Turkey's capital Ankara earlier on Wednesday when a car laden with explosives detonated next to military buses near the armed forces' headquarters, parliament and other government buildings.

I know someone living in Stockholm. I've been to Sweden and it is a peaceful place. This is quite shocking.
