The new terror threat level does not affect which public gatherings can be held. But the new security situation means that the police, among other things, increase the dialogue with both organizers and others so that the gathering will have the best conditions possible.
– We organize ourselves with a special command to be able to intervene if disturbances or crimes are committed. You will be able to see many police officers on duty during Monday in Norrköping, says Peter Wahlberg, commander for the special event.
According to IFK Norrköping’s website, roughly 13,000 tickets have been sold for tonight’s match.
Raised on Thursday
It was on Thursday last week that the Security Police made the decision to raise the terror threat level from elevated level, three on the scale, to high threat, four on the scale. The decision was taken against the background of, among other things, the recent Koran burnings and the previously noticed disinformation campaign about LVU.
