What the articles mention Seven-category breakdown

bombing statistics

10.6%

What counts: Counts, rates or trends in bombings across a period or area—for example, how many occurred in Sweden this year. Counts of injuries, suspects or explosions in this incident alone do not count.

37 mentioned · 311 not mentioned · 0 unclear

time comparison

1.7%

What counts: An explicit comparison of how often bombings or violence occur now versus an earlier period—for example, more bombings than last year. Giving the incident date alone does not count.

6 mentioned · 342 not mentioned · 0 unclear

previous incidents

26.7%

What counts: Meaningful discussion of earlier shootings or bombings beyond the incident being reported. Links to related stories alone do not count.

93 mentioned · 255 not mentioned · 0 unclear

gang context

14.7%

What counts: Discussion of gangs or organised criminal activity, even when no connection to this particular incident is stated.

51 mentioned · 297 not mentioned · 0 unclear

Gang connection addressed

13.5%

What counts: The article addresses whether this incident is linked to a gang or criminal network. Explicit, implied, possible and explicitly ruled-out links count as addressed; they do not all mean a confirmed connection. Mentioning gangs elsewhere is not enough.

47 mentioned · 301 not mentioned · 0 unclear

4 explicit · 2 implied · 39 possible · 2 ruled out

criminal networks

11.5%

What counts: A criminal network is named or described. Generic references to crime, or someone’s occupation as a rapper, do not count.

40 mentioned · 308 not mentioned · 0 unclear

conflict motive

10.3%

What counts: Retaliation, an ongoing conflict or another proposed motive is discussed. Suspected motives count as discussion, with uncertainty recorded; they are not treated as established facts.

36 mentioned · 312 not mentioned · 0 unclear

Categories overlap, so their percentages do not add up to 100%. A possible or ruled-out gang connection counts as addressed, not as a confirmed connection. Unclear findings are shown separately from absence.

Boende om sprängningen i Akalla: Jag känner stor panik
En explosion inträffade vid ett flerfamiljshus i Akalla i norra Stockholm under natten mot fredagen. När SVT besöker platsen träffar de boende vid huset – som är märkbart påverkade. – Jag vaknade av en stor smäll. Jag tittade ut men såg ingenting, så först visste jag inte vad det var som hänt. Det är otäckt, jag blev rädd, säger Barzan som bor några portar från entrén där det exploderade.
