The penalty for premature detonation:

STOCKHOLM — Two days after a bomber killed himself and slightly wounded two people in a commercial district here crowded with Christmas shoppers, investigators offered glimpses of a suspect who, in the pattern of other Islamist terrorists, moved unobtrusively between Europe and the Middle East...The bomber was identified Monday as Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, a 28-year-old Swede of Iraqi origin, who reportedly had been living...in Luton, just north of London, until as recently as three weeks ago. The town is notorious as the starting point for the four bombers who attacked the London transit system on July 7, 2005...

The two explosions set off by the Stockholm bomber occurred on side streets crossing the pedestrian mall called Drottninggatan, the city’s principal shopping street, and suggested that a catastrophic outcome had been narrowly averted....He walked 200 yards up Drottninggatan before turning into another side street where he appeared to have detonated at least one of the 12 pipe bombs strapped to his waist.

...the bomber appeared to drop a black object as he walked, pausing to pick it up, before rounding a corner, just before the second blast. Among the theories floating in local papers was that he stumbled on the snowy surface of the side street, or that the object he dropped was the cellphone found beside his body, a possible trigger for the belt-bomb that he might have accidentally activated on retrieving the phone...

The images showed several passers-by hastening to kneel beside him, followed by shouts of “Bomb! Bomb! Bomb!” that caused many in the gathering crowd to pull back...

The theory of an accidental detonation appeared to have gained some traction “It’s not unreasonable to think that he could have made a mistake, so that a portion of the bomb detonated and caused his death..."

The video offers a rare glimpse of the type of punishment inflicted on women who break the country's strict morality code.

The victim was punished under Sharia law for wearing trousers under her Islamic clothing.

The footage shows her crawling on the ground, raising her arm to try to ward off the attacks and screaming as the whip strikes.
