The files also included photos of the reporters homes, Swedish news agency TT reported.
Authorities also found a home-made shotgun and ammunition in the suspects possession, as well as silencers and a contraption designed to fire the concealed weapon from inside a bag.

The man denied all knowledge of the documents and claimed to have no intention of harming the journalists.
Police also found a transmission breaker at the NMR members home, a breach of the Electronic Communications Act.
