Let us all remember that Scandinavia too has it share of right wing fanatics.

Yes it is and just three days before a referendum whether to join the Euro or not.
The assailant might have been caught on tape from on of the video cameras on the mall she was attacked in so hopefully this will give the police some leads. Here's some more articles from BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3098430.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3098460.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3098092.stm

The motive could be non-political (but I do not think so). Anyhow - it brings back bad memories of the murder on Oluf Palme. [img]graemlins/greenbounce.gif[/img] Insane

Yeah it could be an unhinged left-wing fanatic (like in the Pim Fortuiyn case) as well. She had recieved a fair bit of criticism from the ("consevative") far left over her sucking up to the EU.
My main point is that I don't believe there is any plan or conspiracy behind this. Only a single lunatic acting on his own impulses.

So what's new? Has anyone found out the reason for this murder? Politics? Or is it still unknown? Was Lindh as "controversal" as Palme?

Anna Lindh wasn't really the politician who made alot of enemies, I've never actually heard anyone say something bad about her, not even the far leftists (the party she worked for, "Socialdemokraterna" (social-democrats) is left-wing).
Right now nothing much is happening, most people are in shock and the assailant is yet to be apprehended. Things will probarbly be alot clearer when they do get him. |

There has been a very heated debate in Sweden regarding the Euro and Anna Lindh was a front figure for the pro-Euro side. The political party she was a member of, the Socialdemocrats, has been pro-Euro even though every member don't agree with the Prime Minister's way. It has been a very divided party.
I just heard from a press conference the police recently held that they believe the murder was planned. An assassination in other words.
