2025 has already broken the record for bombings

Despite the fact that there are two months left in 2025, the annual record for bombings has already been broken, Aftonbladet's review shows.

So far, there have been 159 explosions – almost once every other day. The previous record year, 2023, was 152.

– That is of course remarkable. It shouldn't be like that in peacetime in a welfare state, says criminologist Sven Granath.

Hand grenades have been common this year. According to Granath, this depends on availability – someone brings in a large batch of hand grenades that are sold in different regions. In 2023, homemade thermos bombs were common because someone had the right materials and expertise, says Granath, calling them "the seasonal ingredients".

Terror Threats
FBI Thwarts Planned Terror Attack in Michigan

The FBI has thwarted a planned terror attack against this weekend's Halloween celebrations in Dearborn, Michigan, agency director Kash Patel said on X.

"The FBI's vigilance prevented what could have been a tragic attack - and thanks to their commitment, Michigan can have a safe and happy Halloween," he wrote.

According to CBS News sources, five people between the ages of 16 and 20 have been arrested. They are believed to have been inspired by a National Guardsman who was arrested in the state in May, suspected of planning an ISIS-inspired terror attack on a military base in Detroit.

Fox News reports that the terror plans are linked to IS, in an article that Kash Patel has republished on X.

Budget crisis in the US
The poorest are right: Trump must pay for food stamps

Two federal judges have ruled that the White House must continue to fund the SNAP food program, something Trump and his colleagues have not wanted to do during the ongoing government shutdown. This is reported by American media.

42 million Americans, about one-eighth of citizens, receive food stamps through the program, for example. The US government has been shut down since October 1 and the food program's money runs out tomorrow.

The judge in Massachusetts rules that the government should use emergency money to at least distribute some of the food aid.
