Stockholm is seeing a surge in serious crime, including shootings and bombings, with the city's interim police chief announcing that a special crisis group will be deployed to try end the violence.
"What we have today is not one conflict, but several conflicts that are going on at the same time" explained police chief Mattias Andersson. Four shootings and three bombings have occurred in the Swedish capital this week, with a total of 21 such incidents and two deaths since December 25.
