Koran-Burning Activist Salwan Momika Fatally Shot in Sweden

The 38-year-old exiled Iraqi was killed during a TikTok livestream, with five suspects now in custody.

Salwan Momika, known for burning copies of the Koran in Sweden in 2023, was shot and killed in his Södertälje apartment late Wednesday night.
The attack occurred while Momika was livestreaming on TikTok, and police are investigating whether the murder was captured on video.
Five individuals have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the killing, with Sweden's security service Säpo assisting in the investigation.
Momika, who faced widespread backlash for his anti-Islam demonstrations, was awaiting a court verdict on charges of inciting hatred against an ethnic group.
The incident has prompted speculation about potential links to foreign entities, though no evidence has been confirmed so far.
