As the Swedish and Israeli tennis teams prepare for their three-day match in Malmo, Sweden, the terrorist group Global Intifada is allegedly preparing to attack the match. The group Global Intifada is no novice to terror attacks - as if to prepare for a large-scale assault on the Israeli tennis team's visit, they have spent the winter attacking supermarkets around Sodertalje, an industrial city south-west of Stockholm. No arrests have been made in those attacks.

 

Sweden is becoming fertile ground for terrorists. Its increasingly weak central government is relentlessly focused on maintaining a failed welfare state. It does not provide law enforcement with the means appropriate to maintain law and order on a daily basis, let alone to hunt down and elminate terror groups. Should Global Intifada - or any other group, for that matter - succeed in attacking either the tennis match or some adjacent target in Malmo, it would serve not as a reason for clamp-down on terrorism, but as a catalyst for other groups to rise to similar occasions.
