The bomb was found in a bin outside the Kista police headquarters

The bomb squad moved in to remove the dangerous object found in a rubbish bin at about 10.30am near the police headquarters in Kista, a district in Stockholm which is the world’s second largest ICT cluster after California’s Silicon Valley.

Police cordoned off the area and evacuated a supermarket in the nearby shopping mall, police said.

Bomb experts have started testing the suspected hazardous object, local newspaper SVT said.

Town Hägg, a spokesman for Stockholm Police, said: “The dangerous object was found in Kista Square where the police station is.

“We received an alarm from SOS alarms.

“Now, we will examine the object.”
