STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish prosecutors released a man on Sunday (Nov 22) held on suspicion of plotting an attack, saying he was no longer a suspect.
Mr Moder Mothama Magid, 22, was arrested on Thursday after a intense manhunt.
He was suspected of having plotted in Stockholm to carry out an unspecified "terrorist crime". He had said he was innocent.
"The man is no longer a suspect," prosecutor Hans Ihrman said in a statement.
