Terrorism in Sweden

Terrorism in Sweden

Terrorism in Sweden has not been a serious threat to the security of the state since the 1970s when Communist militants staged several high-profile attacks.

Human Rights Watch criticized the Swedish government after police in Stockholm arrested Uzbek political opposition leader Muhammad Salih on May 18, 2006. Holly Cartner, HRW Executive Director for Europe and Central Asia, said the "fact that President Karimov can travel freely to Europe while Mohammad Solih remains subject to an Interpol warrant is plainly absurd."
