  • How well does Säpo know about terrorists acting alone?

    Hi and thanks for the good question

    I judge that SÄPO is good and has control over these phenomena

    Individuals acting alone are difficult to follow – they are driven by their own forces and are more difficult to detect than groups, where there is always a risk of leaking information

  • How do you think about traveling abroad as a Swedish citizen? In eg countries like Egypt?

    Vince

    Hi Vince and thanks for an adequate question

    To all countries you travel to, you should/should take note of the Foreign Ministry’s travel routines

    In the case of Muslim countries, there is every reason to follow this very closely!

  • Has Sweden been in a similar situation before?

    Andreas

    Hi Andreas and thanks for the good question

    No – I judge this to be the most serious threat of future militant Islamic terrorism we have seen to date

    When you judge that we (as a country in the West) are a legitimate target and have now become a priority target, this is to be taken seriously!

  • Hi Ulla and thanks for the good question

    There is every reason to take SÄPO’s warnings very seriously

    However, I don’t think we can expect anything that will be a concrete threat for attacks where we move!

    Jörgen Holmlund, teacher in intelligence analysis at the Norwegian Defense Academy

  • How worried should you be and what should you think about as a citizen?

    annahelgesson121

    Hi Anna and thank you for a good and adequate question

    I think we should be more aware and be careful where we move

    Notify SÄPO and/or the police when you see something out of the ordinary!
