From Sky News:
A nuclear power station in Sweden has been sealed off after a worker was stopped at the entrance with a plastic bag containing traces of explosives.
Investigators took the man, a welder who was scheduled to do work at the Oskarshamn plant, in for questioning.
They later arrested a second man because "there is some uncertainty about who owns the bag", a spokesman said.
Plant operator OKG downplayed the incident, saying there was no threat to the safety of the plant, about 150 miles south of Stockholm.
Police said the man carried a plastic bag with an unknown amount of triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, an explosive used in the London bombings in 2007.
A plant spokesman said there were no explosives inside the bag, but traces of the explosive substance were found on the bag's handle.
A bomb squad was sent to the plant to investigate the findings.
Police set up a security perimeter with a 1,000ft (300m) radius around the plant, but workers already inside were not evacuated.
The plant continued to operate normally.
The Oskarshamn plant has three nuclear reactors, which produce about 10% of Sweden's electricity supply.
Google it. Over fifty news stories so far, and none of them provide the name of the man.
Don't worry, though. It was probably only a man, not a Muslim.
