Boy killed in grenade attack in Sweden

Yuusuf Warsame, of Birmingham, UK, was reportedly sleeping in the living room of an apartment in the Biskopsgarten area, where he was visiting relatives, when a grenade was thrown into the apartment. He died of his injuries on the way to hospital.

At least five children and several adults were in the apartment when the grenade was hurled inside.

The boy's mother, sister and brother were in the same room when the attack happened but sustained minor injuries, a relative told the Birmingham Mail.

A man convicted over a fatal shooting in the area last year was registered as living at the address, Swedish police said. "We'll have to see if the motive is linked to that. Our theory is that it may be," police spokesperson Thomas Fuxborg is cited saying in The Local.
