STOCKHOLM, Oct 15 (Reuters) - The Swedish Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday it had been informed that a Swedish citizen had been killed by U.S. forces in Iraq.

A spokeswoman said the ministry was seeking more information about the circumstances surrounding the man's death and that authorities had so far been unable to contact members of his family, who were thought to be abroad.

"We have received information that a Swedish citizen has been killed by U.S. forces in Iraq," the spokeswoman said. It was not immediately clear why the Swede was in Iraq and the spokeswoman had no other details. (Reporting by Niklas Pollard; Editing by Jon Boyle)

Meaning our military or Blackwater?

Any other Swede and it's a disgusting tragedy that I am sure had something nasty going on to cause it.

We must stop the Swedish terrorist threat before they arrive on our shores!

How does a Swede being killed in Iraq show that the surge is not working? I am not very clear on what correlation they have.



I would like to know more about this incident though, I wonder if the Swede was a contractor of some sort, or maybe was someone like a John Walker Lindh, but Swedish?
