Three men have been detained in Helsinki on suspicion of terrorist offences, according to the Central Criminal Police of Finland.
The police confirm to Hufvudstadsbladet that the three are suspected of having participated in the activities of the terrorist group IS.
It has not emerged that the trio, who were arrested last week, would have prepared a terrorist act against Finland. According to the district court documents, the crimes took place between January 1 last year and June 10 this year in Helsinki.
The police are tight-lipped about what the men are suspected of having done. The Swedish Security Service, Finland’s equivalent of Säpo, has been involved. The police are also cooperating internationally with the case.
The criminal classification is unusual in Finland, writes HBL.

An officer at a regiment in Norrbotten is dismissed. The man has been sentenced for offensive photography of three colleagues and for child pornography offences, reports Norrbottens-Kuriren and Norrländska Socialdemokraten.
The man had photographed female colleagues on several occasions without their knowledge.
During a search of his mobile phones and a computer, roughly 5,000 images were found that could be classified as child pornography. Of these, nearly 500 were judged to be particularly reckless abuse material.
The district court convicted the man for the offending photography and for child pornography offences. He was sentenced to a suspended sentence and daily fines.
After the verdict, the regimental commander sent a notice to the Swedish Armed Forces’ personnel responsibility board that the man would be fired, reports SVT Nyheter Norrbotten. Now the committee has decided that it will be so.
The man has appealed the district court’s verdict.

Political violence has no place in the United States.
This is what President Joe Biden says during a speech in Pennsylvania on Monday.
Biden praises the actions of the Secret Service during the assassination attempt against Donald Trump and says that the work of the security forces saved his life.
– In the United States, we resolve our differences peacefully at the ballot box, not by pointing gun barrels at each other, he says according to the BBC.
– Political violence does not belong in the United States. Not at all, in no way, never.
On his way to Pennsylvania, Biden said the Secret Service needs more staff to carry out its duties.
– I believe that Congress must meet these needs, Biden said, adding “thank God the president is okay.”
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Republican Mike Johnson, is also demanding that Congress do more to protect Trump.
– He is the most attacked, the most threatened (president), maybe even more now than when he was in the White House. We demand that he get greater protection, says Johnson.
Immediately after the assassination attempt on Trump’s golf course in Florida was averted, it was found that the Secret Service did not have the opportunity to cordon off the entire area around the golf facility, which would have happened if Trump had been president.

Portugal is appealing for European help to fight the forest fires raging in the country. A number of fires broke out over the weekend, mainly in the Aveiro region, forcing the population to flee their homes.
Around 2,300 people are fighting the fires, which are estimated to be around 20 in number. One firefighter has died, a further twelve firefighters have been injured in the operations, two of them seriously.
Portugal has the resources to fight forest and grass fires; the country has around 30 aircraft and helicopters that can waterbomb fires. Lisbon nevertheless turned to Paris, London and Madrid for further assistance. France announces that two extinguishing planes are being directed to the region.
– The situation is not out of control, but the situation is complicated. We have a difficult day ahead of us today, and tomorrow, said André Fernandes who is responsible for the rescue work in the region south of the port city of Porto.
