“Swedish political editor guy” from Sweden e-mails:

Our foreign minister Anna Lindh has been stabbed repeatedly by an unknown assailant this afternoon.
Her condition is critical and she is now underoping surgery. At the time she didn’t have any bodyguards.
The attack comes at a critical time as we’re going to have a referendum on the euro currency this sunday and Anna Lindh was one of the main figures in the yes-campaign. For now the campaign is on hold.
Oh, by the way, I don’t share Derb’s and Andrew’s views on the euro.
