The far-right Sweden Democrats demanded on Tuesday a debate in Sweden's parliament, the Riksdag, on Islamic extremism following Saturday's twin blasts in Stockholm which were likely aimed at Christmas shoppers.
"The Sweden Democrats demand a current debate in parliament about violence-prone Islamic extremism. The party proposes that the debate, due to large public interest, be held as soon as possible," said the party, which won its first parliamentary seats in September.
Separately, newspaper Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) reported on Tuesday that Alexandra Brunell, secretary to Sweden Democrat party leader Jimmie Ã…kesson, has come under fire from other political leaders after tweeting the word "Finally" on her Twitter account shortly after suicide bomb attacks that took place on Saturday in Stockholm.
