Swedish Prosecutors Release Suspects in Quran Burner Case

Swedish prosecutors have released five suspects in the fatal shooting of Salwan Momika, an Iraqi man known for Quran burnings. Despite releasing the suspects due to weakened suspicions, investigators continue to probe the case to identify the culprits behind the Sodertalje killing.

Swedish prosecutors have ordered the release of five men initially arrested following the fatal shooting of Salwan Momika, an Iraqi individual infamous for his Quran-burning demonstrations.
