Published: 2024-08-02

In a tragic escalation of violence in Sweden, eight individuals are facing charges related to three bombings that occurred within four days in September 2023. The most devastating incident took place in Fullerö, where a powerful explosion claimed the life of 24-year-old Soha Saad, who was an innocent bystander.

Authorities believe the bombings were coordinated acts linked to ongoing gang conflicts, with connections to two other explosions in Linköping and Hässelby.

The charges include murder, attempted murder, and serious violations of laws regarding explosives.

Soha's father, Samer Saad, expressed his grief and desire for justice, stating that the attack was not just against his family but against society as a whole.

The total damage from these bombings is estimated to reach nearly 70 million kronor, leaving communities in fear and mourning.
