Swedish Intelligence Raid Mosque in Gothenburg; Seize Computer, Charge Four for Planning Murder

Swedish intelligence seized a computer during a raid on a mosque in Gothenburg -- Sweden's second largest city -- last week, after the arrest of four people by counter-terrorist police, the Swedish Wire website reports today (September 19, 2011).

Intelligence service Sapo on September 15 seized the computer of a religious leader to try to find evidence about a foiled attack on an art gallery.

Four men -- of Somali and Iraqi origin -- were arrested on September 17 on suspicion of preparing to carry out a terrorist act.

Swedish prosecutors charged the four men with ties to the Somali Islamist movement Shebab for planning murder.
