Anti-Islam activist who burnt Koran shot dead in Sweden

An anti-Islam refugee who became infamous for publicly burning the Koran in Sweden has been shot dead just hours before a court verdict over his controversial stunts.

Swedish police said Iraqi citizen Salwan Momika, 38, was killed on Wednesday night in an apartment near Stockholm while recording a live online video on TikTok.

Five people have been arrested on suspicion of murder, prosecutors said.

Aftonbladet, a Swedish daily newspaper, reported the killers may have entered his apartment via the building’s roof.

A police spokesman confirmed officers had been searching both “the inside and the outside” of the property.

Security Service spokesman Gabriel Wernstedt said it “cannot say anything about this because it is a police matter.” However, he added: “We have a general close collaboration with the police authority.”
