A man arrested in Glasgow yesterday in connection with a suicide bombing in Stockholm had been under investigation for a month, police said.

The unnamed 30-year-old foreign national was detained over the bombing in December last year. It is alleged that he had been involved in aiding terrorists in Sweden.

Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, 28, who studied at the University of Bedfordshire, blew himself up and injured two people in the city's shopping district.
