Sweden Detains Two Russian Nationals In Connection With 'Attempted Murder' Of Chechen Blogger

Two Russian nationals have been detained by police in Sweden in connection with what authorities are calling the attempted murder of a prominent blogger and critic of the Chechen government last month.

Tumso Abdurakhmanov, who fled Russia several years ago, said he survived the February 26 attack by overpowering an assailant armed with a hammer.

It was the second attack outside of Russia this year on a critic of Chechnya's Kremlin-backed leader Ramzan Kadyrov.

It makes me wonder, why a hammer? They couldn't get a firearm into Sweden?
