The man who killed himself in bomb blasts that Swedish police are treating as the country’s first brush with terror left recordings warning of strikes to defend Islam against the “war being waged” on it.

The Nordic country’s Security Service is investigating two blasts that occurred a few hundred meters apart and close to a street crowded with Christmas shoppers at about 5 p.m. local time on Dec. 11. The first blast set a car on fire, the second killed the suspect and injured two people.
