Sweden on Friday said it has launched a terrorism investigation into an object found at the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm earlier this week.
“The preliminary investigation launched by the Swedish Police Authority on January 31, following the discovery of a dangerous object at the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm, has been taken over by the Swedish Security Service,” the Swedish Security Service, also known as SAPO, announced.
“In connection with this, the criminal classification has been changed to a terrorist crime,” SAPO added.
