Probe dropped over explosives scare at Swedish nuclear plant

They have remained under suspicion until Monday.

Subsequent tests indicated that "a container of shaving cream" carried by one of the men contained traces of the explosive TNT or trinitrotoluene, but authorities could not explain how this occurred.
