In Sweden four individuals were arrested in Gothenburg, Sweden’s second largest country, because they were suspected to be terrorist suspects. There were confessions to the court today [Tuesday, September 13th 2011] that there was a “plan to commit murder.” The four men are between the ages of 23 and 26. Three of the men were from Somali and the other, Iraq. The four suspects are known as Kulan Mohamud Abel, Mahamud Abdi Aziz, Mahmood Salar Sami and Mohamud Abdi Weli. Three out of the four have actual criminal documentation. Though the four cannot be charged with terrorism they are being charged for plotting murder. The question of what will happen if the four men are let go still rises. Some, like prosecutor Agnetha Hilding Qvarnstrom, worry that if they are released there will still be the possibility of threats, attacks, murders, and terrorism. Swedish media have reported that the four are suspected of having links to the Somali Islamist group al-Shabaab. The al-Shabaab have also been compared to the Taliban. Sweden is not raising its terror threat level, which is currently at 3, with 5 as the highest. How is Sweden’s protection program and system efficient against attacks? What are their plans? What is the result of the four men? What’s at stake? How will this make Sweden’s court system look if the four men are released?
