Swedish Papers Say Photos Are of Assassin
By KARL RITTER Associated Press Writer

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - Swedish tabloids on Saturday published pictures they claimed showed video surveillance images of a man sought by police in the stabbing death of Foreign Minister Anna Lindh.
Swedish police declined to comment on the authenticity of the pictures and protested their leaking to the media, saying it could jeopardize the investigation.

"I don't know where the pictures come from," police spokesman Mats Nylen Nylen said. "It is deplorable if they are authentic pictures because they could affect witnesses consciously and subconsciously."
The pictures published in Aftonbladet and Expressen showed a man wearing a blue cap and a gray sweater with the sleeves rolled up. His face was blurred.

Police seized footage from surveillance cameras at the department store where Lindh was stabbed in her chest, stomach and arms Wednesday. They said the footage was from the floor above the attack. Cameras did not capture the attack itself.
Police spokesman Leif Jennekvist on Friday said the footage was grainy, but would be shared with police departments around the country and possibly shown to witnesses.

However, in another survey, also taken Friday, by Sifo Research and Consulting, results showed the "No" campaign actually widening its lead to 50, with 38 percent saying they would vote "Yes."

It is the latter poll that appears to have been more trusted by the financial markets -- its result caused the Swedish Crown to slip from a three-month high, ending the day at 9.095 euros.

An extraordinary outpouring of grief for Anna Lindh has caused traumatised Sweden to swing in favour of the euro, according to a poll yesterday, setting the stage for a nerve-jangling vote today.

It would be a fitting tribute to Anna Lindh for this to pass. May she rest in peace.
