STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish police were preparing to question a man on Sunday after bomb disposal experts removed a suspected bomb that had been strapped round his waist, a police spokesman said.
"We have been able to get the belt off him. The suspected bomb is being driven away for examination," the spokesman said.
Police earlier evacuated part of a suburb of the Swedish capital after residents reported seeing a man with a suspected bomb strapped to him.
Police said the man told them he had been kidnapped three days ago and had explosive round his waist, and a bomb disposal squad was called to the scene.
The national news agency TT said police would carry out house-to-house searches during the evening before allowing people living in the area where the man had first been seen to return home.
