   A specialist bomb squad has been scrambled to the Swedish city of Gothenburg   
   after an explosion, just 24 hours after a suspected car bomb rocked Stockholm.    
   The incident occurred in the stairwell of an apartment block just after 10 pm   
   on Friday evening, Göteborgs-Posten reports.   
      
   “I thought it was another country that has come to attack. I thought it was   
   a war…” said one witness.   
      
   Authorities suspect the blast was caused by an “attack” involving some   
   form of homemade device, and the National Guard and a police bomb squad were   
   called to the scene.   
      
   “We suspect that there are some kind of bomb attacks carried out here”,   
   said Pål Engebretsen, the police officer leading the investigation last night.   
      
   “Some people were seen running from the scene in connection with a bang, but   
   who these people are we do not know at present”, added police press officer   
   Thomas Fuxborg on Saturday morning.   
      
   “We will examine who lives near the stairwell and knock on doors to see if   
   anyone saw or heard anything yesterday”, he continued.   
      
   By Saturday morning, the emergency services, National Guard and police bomb   
   squad had left the scene.   
      
   “We have not received the results of the technical investigation yet”,   
   added Mr. Fuxborg. “But bomb technicians found no metal residues which   
   usually indicates a hand grenade was used, but something else has exploded   
   there. What it is is still    
   unclear”.   
      
   He said it was possible the device was homemade and said motives could include   
   scaring someone specific in the building or simply “mischief”.   
      
   The number of grenade attacks and car fires in the relatively small nation has   
   shot up in recent years – allegedly because of warring migrant gangs – and   
   the number of fatal shootings has doubled in nine years.   
      
   Since Mr. Trump made his intervention last month, there have been grenade   
   attacks in Stockholm and Malmö, shootings and riots in the “No Go Zone”   
   of Rinkeby in Stockholm, and ambulance workers demanding “military”   
   defence so they can enter the    
   area.
