The Swedish authorities say they believe they've identified the man who set off two bombs in Stockholm on Saturday. He's been named as Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, who was born in Iraq, grew up in Sweden and studied at university in England. Frank Gardner reports.

The motives propelling Taimour al-Abdaly, who attacked Stockholm on Saturday, are becoming apparent. He held a violent, radicalised view of Islam, and he was bent on what he saw as revenge for a Swedish cartoon insulting the Prophet Muhammad, and for the presence of Swedish troops in Afghanistan. What is less clear is where and when he became radicalised and whether he had any accomplices. British Muslims who knew him in Luton, where he had a family home, have spoken today of his unacceptable, extreme views.

The authorities in Sudan are investigating the public flogging of a young woman allegedly carried out by Sudanese police after video images of the punishment were circulated on the Internet. The identity of the woman and the reason for her punishment aren't known.
