The site was mailed to an unknown number of HotMail accounts.
To make it look more realistic, the situation in Najaf was reported as well, and the Olympic.
Anyone know more about this? There was no URL in the newsbit.

Forgot to add the URL to the swedish article in Expressen.
Perhaps someone can translate.

Okay, found the URL but the page is gone.
The difference was bbc-news.org.uk not news.bbc.co.uk
Here's th URL, in case they decide to put it back up

Internet fake tonight. The king is killed.
Bbc news writed: "The swedish king is murdered"
The fake news was sended out to an unknown number of hotmail accounts late yesterday.
It is tasteless, They have passed all the borders, says hovets(?) information leader, Elisabeth Tarras-Wahlberg.
