Gas discharge near school Musharraf visited

06 Jul, 2004

Police scrambled on Monday to stop a large gas leak in downtown Stockholm only minutes away from the city's School of Economics where President Pervez Musharraf was visiting.
"It was a bit risky. We thought at first that the leak may have been caused by sabotage due to (Musharraf's) visit, but that turned out not to be the case," police spokesman Mats Nylen told AFP.
Police were notified of the leak in a large hall, only minutes from where Musharraf was, just before 4:00 pm (1400 GMT).
