Swedish Foreign Minister killed by a Serb

[Ivo Skoric]

A 25 year old Swedish man of Serbian birth has admitted the murder of
Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lind in a Stockhom department store in
2003. ZDF Television, quoting Swedish media, reported in its Nacht
Magazin that Mihajl Mihajlovic held a grudge against the minister
following her outspoken support for NATO's actions against Serbia in
1999.  Mihajlovic's lawyer claims his client is mentally disturbed.

This is an important reminder that terrorism and despair are not just 
a province of Arab Muslim extremists. And that there always is some 
socio-political background to any act of political violence.
