Blasts in Sweden Kill 1, Wound 2

Police in Sweden say one person was killed and two others wounded in two almost simultaneous explosions in central Stockholm Saturday.

The police say the first blast occurred in a car near a busy shopping street and left two people hurt. Shortly afterward, a second explosion was heard on the same street, and police later found one person dead at the scene.

A police spokeswoman says it is unclear what caused the blasts and if they are linked.

The Associated Press quotes a rescue services spokesman as saying the car that exploded first contained gas canisters.
