| Sweden holds suspected militants |
| 2004-04-20 |
| Swedish police say they have arrested four people suspected of links to Muslim militants. They were detained in operations in the capital, Stockholm, and the city of Malmo late on Monday, police said. Officials said the four have links with "Islamic extremism" outside Europe - but gave no details. According to Swedish media, the suspects are of foreign origin and were detained in connection with attacks on US-led forces in Iraq. One newspaper said the arrests were made "based on information that US authorities sent to Sweden". |

| #5 But Sweden's neutral and they gave that Iranian woman the Nobel prize. Surely the terrorists will respect them for making such a gesture on their part. They did in Spain, didn't they? |

| #4 I figure since it has not turned up in Norway, they may have taken it out of the country. Long common border between Norway and Sweden, bet there is little security and many back roads. |
