An armed military group called Ashab al-Kahf directs sharp threats of violence against Swedes, reports TV4 Nyheterna. “Kill them wherever you find them,” it says.
“The events of Koran burnings are an act of war and a sign for us to act hard,” writes Ashab al-Kahf on Telegram.
The group urges its members to “search for all Swedish interests and destroy them”, and continues:
“Look for every Swede, they are in fact an Israeli Jew but use Sweden’s identity as a cover. Because everything that is going on now is planned and managed by the International Jewish Home. So the Jews are our enemies, so look for them and kill them wherever you are find them.”
Ashab al-Kahf is a Shia Muslim Iranian armed group that, among other things, has claimed responsibility for rocket attacks against American forces, including the attack on the American embassy in Baghdad in 2020, according to TV4.
– It is a small movement that has mostly operated in Baghdad and is considered to be close to Iran. They have carried out a handful of bombings in 2020 in Baghdad against American and international targets, says terrorism researcher Hans Brun to TV4 Nyheterna.
According to Brun, the threat should be taken seriously as there are people who “will take this as a sign that it is legitimate to seek out and kill Swedes”.
– This is probably a threat to more Swedes in general, even outside of Iraq. So we should not just limit this threat to Baghdad. This can encourage solo actors elsewhere, says Hans Brun to TV4.
