Sweden lowers national threat level

Sweden's security service said on Friday it had lowered the national threat assessment by one notch to "elevated" from "high", citing a gradual change in the overall situation.

"The threat of attacks from violent extremism has been reduced for some time," Sweden's SAPO security police said in a statement.

SAPO had raised the threat level to "high", the second highest level, in 2023 after Koran burnings by individuals in Sweden outraged Muslims in several countries and triggered jihadist threats.
