SWEDISH police today arrested a new suspect for the murder of foreign minister Anna Lindh, and cleared a man they had been holding, chief prosecutor Agneta Blidberg said. Per Olof Svensson, who had been arrested on September 16, was "no longer suspected of the murder", Blidberg said. "Another man has been arrested." The man arrested today, whose name has not been disclosed, had been detained on a higher degree of suspicion than had Svensson, Blidberg said. She said the reasons for his arrest could not be disclosed at present.
