Four terror suspects held in Sweden

Security police spokesman Stefan Johansson said the four were arrested in Sweden’s second largest city early yesterday.

Mr Johansson declined to give further comments.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether the arrests were linked to the 10-year anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York.

Police in Gothenburg said in a statement they had evacuated an arts centre in the city overnight due to a threat deemed to pose “serious danger for life, health or substantial damage of property”.

Sweden raised its terror threat alert level from low to elevated in October last year.
