A Bandidos club in Tampere, Finland, was to be blown up by a group led by gang leader Ismail "Strawberry" Abdo. This is reported by Finnish MTV with reference to their own sources and an ongoing police investigation.

According to MTV, the Swedish group had far-reaching plans for the bombing, and the material for the bomb was allegedly procured. An armed attack was also planned against Bandidos, according to MTV.

The background is said to have been a dispute over payment related to drug trafficking.

Abdo was previously highly placed in the so-called Foxtrot network and was close to leader Rawa Majid (who also went by the name "Kurdish Fox"), but last year the two ended up on opposite sides in a violent conflict.
