Sweden's intelligence and security agencies need to work more closely together to fight terror, Sweden's Liberal Party has said.
The party's spokesmen on justice and defence issues have called for a new Department of the Interior to be set up, which would be responsible for the nation's internal security.
"The Swedish attitude has long been naive," justice spokesman Johan Pehrson and defence spokesman Allan Widman write in Saturday's Svenska Dagbladet.
"Despite the fact that Sweden has been more affected by acts of terror and political assassinations than many other countries, the police lack resources, organization and tools," they argue, adding that the foiled terror plot in London is a signal that the threat has not gone away.
The pair say that Swedish organizations involved in national security need more formal coordination. They point to Denmark and Britain, where integrated terrorism analysis centres have been estabished.
The work of three particular organizations needs to be be coordinated, they say. Säpo, which is responsible for internal security, formally 'owns' the terrorist problem at present.
It should work more closely with Must, the Military Intelligence and Security Service, which focuses on foreign intelligence, and FRA, which tracks electronic communication, they argue.
The new national intelligence centre would be the responsibility of the new Interior Department, they say. The department would also take over responsibility for the coastguard, the customs service and the police.
Some answers just write themselves...
Demand 'Improved Intelligence?"
Do it the way we do it.....Allow "abortion on demand"....Slowly the IQ s will improve! /sarc
They lack moral clarity. Once they acquire this then hopefully all else will fall into place.
Liberals want their cake and eat it too. Libs are the ones who broke the news about US flying terrorists from one place to the next instigating an international investigation. Libs can't stand anything military. Libs cut funding for the intel agences. NOW they want improved intel. Sheesh!
they've ALLOWED MALMO to become a cesspool-it's too late for such a 'call to arms'.
The most expedient way to improve a liberal's intelligence just may be the decapitation with a dull knife as practiced by followers of the Religion of Peace.
I remember Olof palme.
Two faced guy.
His administration sold advanced weapons to the US during the 'Nam operations and simultaneously slaughtered the US verbally for making use of this equipment.
How to treat an ally.
Just reading the title alone is hilarious.
"European Liberals demand improved intelligence!"
The poor things, the lberals don't want more intelligence here in the USA, but they sure could use it.
Hahahahaha Sorry I could not help it.
liberals
Wouldn't it make more sense just to kick out the Muslim fanatics who are now living in Sweden and prevent further Muslim immigration? But then liberals lack the good sense to understand the correct solution.
For once, could we perhaps forget about these tremendously fascinating cab drivers/pizza baking muslims of Sweden?
I'm getting kind of tired of this propaganda and I can assure you many american freepers are too.
What are you talking about? Could you please elaborate?
No, It doesn't get more plain than this.
More plain that what? One thing that distinguishes western culture from others is the critical tradition to eludicate and speak clearly. Could you please explain what you mean?
