Second Swede Arrested For Plotting Somalia Attack

   VOA News 23 June 2010

   Police  in  Sweden have arrested a man suspected of planning an attack
   in Somalia, the second such arrest there within a month.
   The  Swedish  security  police  say  the  man,  a Swedish citizen, was
   detained in the capital of Stockholm on Tuesday. Â
   Police  did  not  give the man's name but said his arrest is linked to
   that of another Swedish national in the city of Gothenburg in May.
   They  say  other  people  will  be  questioned  in connection with the
   investigation.
   Swedish  authorities  have  expressed  concern  about  Somali militant
   groups   recruiting  fighters  from  the  country's  Somali  immigrant
   population.
   Over  the  past two decades, tens of thousands of Somalis have fled to
   Scandinavia to escape war and poverty in their homeland.
