STOCKHOLM, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Two explosions, one of them destroying a car, killed a man and injured two other people in the centre of Stockholm on Saturday, Swedish media said.

The blasts were some 200 metres apart in a busy district of the capital. It was not immediately clear what caused the blasts and investigators and emergency services were at the scene.

Media reported scenes of panic in the busy Christmas shopping areas with people fleeing amidst smoke and the smell of explosives.
