The Swedish Government has announced this morning that they are raising the terror threat level for the country from “low” to “elevated” following threats that have come in from various sources about the possibility of Mumbai India type terror attacks in European cities. The Swedish Security Service stated, “The assessment is based on intelligence indicating a shift in activities among certain groups in Sweden, judged to be targeted at Sweden”.

Two years ago, Mumbai India was the site of a series of attacks lasting 3 days, killing 160 people. The attacks used guerrilla warfare tactics to kill innocent people in the city with machine guns, and grenades.

Sweden, one of the more prosperous and developed nations in Europe, would clearly be a possible target for terrorists looking to strike Western interests.
