“the Police in Stockholm is engaged in the case, but after that the arrangement set expected on Friday, not with some unrest over the weekend.”
“– We have followed the development and was previously oriented that this meeting would take place. Since then, it has been shown that the promoter for any reason, cancelled the contract with the lessee, says Ola Österling on the police regionledningscentral.”
“Aftonbladet have searched the representative of the Organisation for the exile-iraqis in Sweden.”
