Anna Lindh, the foreign minister, died 5.29 this morning. She was stabbed yesterday afternoon while shopping in central Stockholm. She was rushed to hospital but internal injuries were so severe that her life could not be saved.
The killer left the scene running and is still at large. Police have heard a number of witnesses and found the knife that probably was used.
On Sunday, Swedish voters will take part in a referendum on whether Sweden should change the krona to the euro, thus taking the third step in the EMU collaboration. Anna Lindh was one of the leading forces in the yes campaign.
Comments in Swedish media wednesday evening and this morning goes along a number of themes. One of the most important is the freedom of politicians. In Sweden, many politicians move about quite freely, without security personnel. After the assassination of PM Olof Palme, in 1986, security was discussed and the PM has since then been accompanied by security personnel. Should other ministers in the government have the same kind of security, is one of the questions discussed.

The “death touch,” or dim mak, is a mysterious and fatal technique that has been used in numerous martial arts films. The idea is that a strong blow to a critical spot on the body can be fatal within minutes. In the films, the recipient of the death touch walks around normally, only to
suddenly collapse moments later.
Most recently, this concept has been utilized in Kill Bill 2 as the “five-point palm exploding
heart technique,” and the dim mak has been theorized to be the cause of Bruce Lee’s death.
