Data from the Swedish Dagbladet (SvD)

The man who owns the car that blew up in the corner of the Olaf Palme Street and Queen Street on Saturday is probably also the person who minutes after the car caught fire, blew himself to death at Bryggatan. Car owner's name is also identical to the signature on the hotmejl sent to SAPO (Swedish Security Service) shortly before the bombings.

28-year-old's father says to Expressen (Newspaper) that his son left home in southern Sweden early on Saturday morning in his car.

- We have tried to call my son, but his mobile is off, "said the father told the newspaper.

Yesterday, police had cordoned off the apartment where the man is written, which is located in the center of a small town in southern Sweden.

On his Facebook page, 28-year-old expressed radical religious views on the war in Iraq, and called for a boycott of Denmark. He status updates often consisted of prayers, and he has uploaded videos with Islamist messages, reported Aftonbladet. (Newspaper)

In late November, the man wrote on Facebook:

"God take my life when you become satisfied with my honest word and deed. God, I dedicate all my actions to you. God keep me away from falsehood, "according to Expressen. (Newspaper)

The man came to Sweden with his family in the early 90th century, from Iraq.

Friends of the man told Aftonbladet that he had good grades in high school, played basketball, loved to drink beer and found it easy to meet girls.

A man who went to the same class as 28-year-old high school describes him as a person who took a lot of space.

- He was talkative, asked a lot of lessons and was loud, "says the classmate told SvD. (Newspaper)

But none of the 28-year-old's behavior spoke for the attacks he is suspected.

- He never expressed any extremist views, or was violent, as I can remember. It's always hard to think that someone you felt would do something like this, but you can never say what will happen to someone after stopping to know them, "says the classmate.

After high school, the man moved to England to train as naprapath. He has an unpaid student debt registered. In England he married and had two daughters, but recently he moved back to Sweden and now he is registered as unmarried.

The e-mail that was sent to the Security Service and TT (The Swedish news agency) just before the explosions, however, the man writes about his wife, including that he could not tell who it was for his wife or children. He also asks family for forgiveness, and asks his wife to kiss the children. "Tell them Daddy loves them," said the man.

On an Internet site he has described himself as a Sunni Muslim, as "very religious". He also writes that he wants to live in an Arab country.

According to friends who spoke to Aftonbladet, the man recently becoming more religious, but they still had not thought he would become a suicide bomber.

- I am so shocked that I do not know what to say, one of them says to the newspaper.

The e-mail that was sent to TT claims 29-year-old that he does not belong to any organization, but that he traveled to the Middle East for jihad, which in Islamic terminology is sometimes used as a term for holy war.
