Bomb Suspect Nabbed

Hours before Stockholm lost its bid to hold the 2004 Olympics, police made an arrest in the bombings that may have hurt the city’s chances for the games.

Police grabbed a 26-year-old man they said was about to blow up a statue which was a symbol for Stockholm’s bid. The statue, in a park just outside the Swedish capital, was not damaged.

Authorities said the man was a suspect in last month’s bombings of Stockholm’s historic Olympic stadium and Ullevi stadium in the western Swedish city of Goeteborg.
