8th March 2024
“It concerns a group of individuals within the violent Islamist extremist environment. We see connections to serious organized crime, as well as international links to the terrorist organization Islamic State,” said Fredrik Hultgren-Friberg, press spokesman for Swedish security services SÄPO. “What I can say is that we have been aware of these individuals for a longer period and have taken action against their plans to avert a threat,” he said, adding that further arrests are not out of the question.
Security services and police raided several different properties connected to the suspects, including a property owned by an Islamic association, according to daily Aftonbladet. After raiding the home of one of the four, police retrieved a significant number of automatic weapons, Expressen writes.
Muslims seem to have pretty much a monopoly on terrorism these days.
