Terrorism in Sweden information


Until the late 2000s terrorism in Sweden was not seen as a serious threat to the security of the state. However, there has been a rise in far right and Islamist terrorist activity in the 21st century.[1]

The Swedish government agency tasked with keeping watch over terrorism-related threats is the Swedish Security Service.
