Swedish police are investigating whether criminal activity was behind an explosion at an apartment block that seriously injured four people.
Around 100 residents were evacuated and 16 taken to hospital after the blast caused a fire that tore through the building in Gothenburg city in Sweden.
Police have said they suspect the early morning blast was started deliberately.
“It’s obvious that a crime cannot be excluded,” Interior Minister Mikael Damberg told a news conference.
Unconfirmed reports in Swedish media say one of the residents of the apartment block is a police officer who had recently testified in a major gang trial.
