Sweden: Four Terror Suspects Arrested, Al Qaeda Now Encouraging Muslim Radicals to ‘Strike Where They Are’

By Per Nyberg – “(CNN) — A Swedish SWAT team backed by local police arrested four people overnight on suspicion of plotting terror attacks, the Swedish Security Service told CNN Sunday.

She refused to say whether the suspects had been under surveillance or if the arrests resulted from a tip-off, saying she could not discussed details on an ongoing investigation.

They are especially perilous for police, firefighters, and emergency-medical technicians.” Read more.
