In summary, the foreign minister of Sweden, Anna Lindh, was stabbed in a mall and passed away the next morning. She was highly regarded as a politician, friend, and mother. There was not much discussion about her death compared to if a similar event had happened to an American politician. Some expressed concern for the lack of security for public officials. Lindh's murder may have been motivated by her political views, but it is not confirmed. Her death occurred during a time when there was debate over switching to the Euro currency. It was initially reported that the Pro-Euro side had a slim lead, but it ultimately did not turn out that way.

interesting no one had much to say about this, but if Bush was stabbed, the thread would have run several pages!

i hadn't heard much about her, but from the articles you reference, she had quite a good reputation...perhaps one day America will allow more female leaders and we will see where our country goes

I hope they'll start attaching security personel to
public officials from now on. I mean their president
was also murdered cause he was, at that time, without
protection. It's admirable, but unfortunately it seems
reality is not. I know it doesn't really matter at this
stage but I hope that it wasn't just because of her political
views, I mean it's really awful to commit a murder just because
you don't want to use Euros or some other petty problem like that.

Peace and long life.

Looks like the murderers got what they wished for...

Newspapers here were reporting a 1% lead for the Pro-Euros this morning. Things just didn't turn out that way, I guess.
