Court told how Sweden bomber suspect was found with ‘intestines spilling out’

A MAN found dead after a bomb was set off in Sweden had wires coming from his clothing and his intestines spilling out, a court was told yesterday.

The evidence was heard at the trial of Nasserdine Menni who is accused of conspiring with Taimour Abdulwahab, who set off a bomb in the Swedish capital, to further terrorist aims by criminal and other means.

It is alleged these included the use of explosive devices in the commission of an act of terrorism directed against members of the public in Sweden with intent to murder them.

Abdulwahab, who had been living in Luton, died following the blast in Stockholm.

Menni, who is on trial at the High Court in Glasgow, denies all the charges against him.

Earlier the court heard that police went to the Bryggargatan area of Stockholm on 11 December 2010 following a report of an explosion.

Swedish police technical investigator Roger Skoglund told the court that he went to the scene at around 10pm.

Advocate depute Andrew Miller, prosecuting, asked him to read from the report he wrote describing photos taken of the body lying at the scene.

Speaking through an interpreter, Mr Skoglund read: “The man gave an impression of having a foreign appearance. The clothing that could be seen was that the man had a black and white shawl or scarf around his neck. On the upper torso there was a black, quilted jacket which was very, very broken.”

His report described how when a blanket was removed a large flesh wound could be seen in the stomach area with part of the intestines spilling out.

A close-up photo of the body in more detail showed wires coming from the clothing.

The trial before Lord Matthews continues.
