The convict's ex-girlfriend noticed a bag under the hood of her car, and when she reached for it, the bag exploded.
The bomb was created from hundreds of grams of dynamite and roofing nails. The woman was very seriously injured in the explosion.
The convict, Rune Erik Bäckström, 60, was sentenced to prison time in addition to paying the vic-tim various forms of compensation totalling more than euro 100,000.
A psychological examination deemed the man incompetent, which means that, while he had the ability to understand the consequences of his actions, he was unable to regulate his own behaviour.
In the trial, evidence suggested that he had taken his divorce badly and was jealous.
