I’ll wait for a source that is not directly and primarily funded by Sheldon Adleson.

One of the major papers in Sweden.
Per this source: Police have not confirmed anything, and it contradicts the JNS article.
Edit: those other sources listed in the screenshot are Swedish tabloids for those wondering.
You have an issue with a news source that leads with “Let’s Win The Battle Of Headlines”?
The object was found outside the embassy grounds and the national bomb squad was dispatched to investigate, Reuters reported, citing Swedish public broadcaster SVT.
Yes, and when you visit reuters it says that police never identified the object as a bomb or explosive.
You’ll note that paragraph is the only sourced section in the entire article, and the only sourced claim is “the object was found outside embassy grounds”.
Everything else is direct from JNS, a Sheldon Adelson media property.
Meanwhile Israeli-leaning media (The Times of Israel, Haaretz, Jerusalem Post, Fox News) are all reporting it was a bomb that was detonated and using that JNS article as the source.
This phenomenon is called Laundering Information. Take a wild claim from a fringe source and use it to further your position, even if it’s false. By the time anyone checks it will be a worldwide story.
As I said, I will wait for confirmation from a source not primarily funded by Sheldon Adelson.
Sorry, should have checked the source better.
No worries, more people should be as intellectually honest as you have been today recognizing and admitting a mistake!
Intellectual honesty would have been to delete the post. At the moment it still has the function you so very well described.
I meant the updated headline.
Tl;dr: so far just lies and bad journalism.
oh my… is it by hamas?? gotta bomb all the hospitals then!
