I'm at a loss as to why he would be worried about extradition to the US when the only charges against him are from Sweden.

If he is (perhaps secretly) deemed an enemy combatant, he can be held indefinitely in custody without having any charges against him.

But surely that does not stop the US from charging him and issuing their own warrant - something much easier to do if he's already in custody.
