Arrest in Glasgow over Stockholm bombing

Stockholm blast Two people were hurt in the Stockholm blasts in December
A 30-year-old man has been arrested in Glasgow in connection with a suicide bombing in Sweden.
Police detained the foreign national under the Terrorism Act during an intelligence-led raid in the city's Whiteinch area at about 0605 GMT.
Two people were hurt in two blasts in Stockholm in December. A man was later found dead with an explosive device.
The Stockholm bomber was named as 28-year-old Iraqi-born Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, who lived in Luton.
He previously attended the University of Bedfordshire.
The attack was believed to be the first suicide bombing in Sweden's history.
Detectives in Britain and Sweden have been investigating whether Abdulwahab was supported by others or acted as a lone attacker.
Officials said at the time the bombing appeared "well-planned" and worked on the assumption that he was helped by others.
The man detained in Glasgow is suspected of "aiding terrorist activities outwith Scotland".
A Strathclyde Police spokesman said: "At 0605 hours on Tuesday 8 March, Strathclyde Police conducted an operation in the Whiteinch area of Glasgow.
"This has resulted in a 30-year-old foreign national being arrested under the Terrorism Act (2000).
"The operation centres on a previous incident in Sweden. It was intelligence-led and relates to allegations that this individual has been involved in aiding terrorist activities outwith Scotland."
Police said the man being detained posed "no direct threat to Scotland".
The incident is not being linked to events at Gartocharn, near Loch Lomond, last November where a number of suspicious devices were found.

Thai penis whitening trend raises eyebrows

Image copyright LELUXHOSPITAL Image caption Authorities warn the procedure could be quite painful A supposed trend of penis whitening has captivated Thailand in recent days and left it asking if the country's beauty industry is taking things too far. Skin whitening is nothing new in many Asian countries, where darker skin is often associated with outdoor labour, therefore, being poorer. But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs". The 30-year-old said his first session of several was two months ago, and he had since seen a definite change in the shade. 'What for?'
