It should be emphasised that the threat is not currently assessed to be imminent. Compared to the situation in several other European countries, the threat level to Sweden is still low.
As the Security Service has previously announced that the threat level to Sweden is low, we consider it important also to make public this raise in the threat level.
The assessment is based on intelligence indicating a shift in activities among certain groups in Sweden, judged to be targeted at Sweden.
The Security Service is taking comprehensive measures to acquire further information and to reduce the threat. Given the nature of our operational work, we are unable to make any explicit comments on what measures we are currently taking and how further information is being gathered.
The assessment of the terrorist threat to Sweden is based on classified information. As a result, we cannot provide any detailed accounts of this information or present specific details contained in the assessment.
The threat level scale:
1. No threat
2. Low threat
3. Elevated threat
4. High threat
5. Very high threat
