Foxtrot Network Bombings Strike Sweden

Published: 2024-02-05

Sweden has been rocked by a series of bombings linked to the Foxtrot network conflict, with four incidents targeting relatives of individuals implicated in earlier crimes.

The recent wave of violence has struck various locations, including Gävle and Stockholm, starting with a blast in Sandviken at the home of a relative of a detained suspect in a severe weapons crime.

Similar patterns followed in Sundbyberg and Haninge, where a relative of Rawa Majid's so-called 'bombmaker,' a central figure in last autumn's violence, resides.

These attacks appear to be retaliatory, signaling a continuation of the gang-related violence that has characterized the area since the previous year.

Despite this year's crimes being more spread out, the number has remained consistent with early 2023, challenging police efforts to quell the violence.
