Despite Daesh’s* self-proclaimed “caliphate” having fallen, the threat of Islamism is far from over, Sweden’s leading terrorism researcher Magnus Ranstorp of the National Defence College has warned.
Furthermore, the security threat against Sweden has increased and is expected to further spike in the next few years, national broadcaster SVT reported.
According to Ranstorp, the current situation, where “extremists recruit openly without resistance”, is largely a product of the authorities’ ham-handed approach and lack of timely measures.
