In internet is spreading messages containing a "global jihad supporters' praise to an explosive device found from Helsinki.
In Friday a canister bomb was found in Pasila, which did not have time to explode. The next night, firebomb was thrown to the service station in Tapaninvainio, in northern Helsinki, which caused the fire.
Now in the network are spreading messages, where such attacks are welcomed, and are encouraged to continue them.
Helsinki police is investigating the messages, and has been on contact with Suojelupoliisi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suojelupoliisi) (link to wiki added by editor), which will assist the investigation if necessary.
Messages were forwarded by Evan Kohlmann in his Twitter wall, who is an internationally respected scholar and terrorism consultant. His services are used, inter alia, the FBI.
According to Kohlmann the messages are signed by Abu Suleiman al-Nasser. Al-Nasser is considered to be one the leaders of al-Qaida terrorist organization. Finnish troops serving in Afganistan were threatened in last week in name of same man.
"The last message of Abu Suleiman stressed how important the Friday Molotov cocktail attack on a gas station in Tapaninvainio was," Kohlmann writes. He do not quote message itself.
Pasila threat became public yesterday. It is stated also in Finnish: (editor's note, following is still Google's fluent bull-you-know-what as I'm not sure how to translate it properly, sorry) "The Messenger of Allah merciful Merciful name. Praise Lord of the Worlds, Peace be upon the Prophet Muammedin and his successors maintained. Today, Friday morning, Helsinki, Pasila, Esterinportin courtyard had been placed a homemade bomb. The building is located in a restaurant and a supermarket. The police isolated the area before bomb explosion. We pray to Allah, and that the company is successful next time. Abu Suleiman Al Nasser supporters of the Global Jihad. "
In Finland Pasila themed message have been told among others by Keskisuomalainen and Uusi Suomi newspapers.
Abu Suleiman al-Nasser's name has previously been linked to Stockholm's last year's bombing.
Suojelupoliisi confirmed that the Helsinki Police Department is investigating both cases, and the Suojelupoliisi will assist the investigation, if necessary.
"Suojelupoliisi has been informed of these messages spreading online and we are investigating it from our own part," says public relations representative Liinu Lehto-Seljavaara of the Suojelupoliisi.
"At this stage we can not confirm these things are related in any way to al-Qaeda or other terrorists."
Lehto-Seljavaara do not want to start to speculate how likely an attack on civilian targets in Finland would be. Suojelupoliisi, however, takes this matter very seriously.
"It is quite clear that all such attacks, the motive was any, must be taken seriously. Especially if it is possible that they damaged people, "Lehto-Seljavaara says.
Abu Suleiman al-Nasser's name also came up last week when al-Qaeda urged to attack against 'weak' Finnish troops in Afghanistan.
"Fight against terrorism in that type of threats are daily for Supo. To my attention did not come to that previously would have threatened to strike at civilian targets in Finland, "Lehto-Seljavaara says.
He wants to emphasize, however, that we must first investigate the matter, before we can start speculating on the motives for the attacks. "Its fulile to frighten people."
Helsinki police told that a bomb found from Pasila is in technical investigation and risks are being explored. Person who set the bomb is being searched with CCTV footage and witness accounts.
Police have also taken samples of liquid used in firebomb in Tapaninvainio and is searching bottle thrower. According to police, a taxi driver saw the flames flared up, and went to extinguish the fire. Police patrol arrived and helped the fire-fighting work. Taxi driver, also saw a dark car driving away. Service stations in the yard did not have cameras.
