Spied on suspected terrorists without legal
U.S. has carried out terrorist surveillance in Sweden - without approval from the Swedish authorities.
CIA agents were detected when SAPO carrying out its own terrorist reconnaissance and SAPO reacted strongly against the U.S., writes Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet.
The CIA has single-handedly carried out the terrorist reconnaissance on Swedish soil, but chose not to inform either the security police or the government.
Discovered in 2009
How long it lasted, nobody knows, but it was discovered in 2009 when SAPO spied on suspected terrorist circles in Sweden and discovered that two other people did the same, writes SvD.
When checking it was found that there were two American agents that were not declared to Swedish authorities, which is otherwise customary.
The U.S. had no way indicated that it conducted reconnaissance operations, or mentioned that they had an interest in terrorist circles in Sweden.
When SAPO found out the truth, it was suggested a strong protest against the CIA station chief in Sweden - and the two agents were sent straight home.
- The Security Service did emphatically end to the U.S. operation, "a source told SvD.
SAPO would not comment
CIA also chose to bring home the station commander from Sweden and should have replaced him with someone with "more sophisticated image '. According to SvD should it be deemed to be acted out on the Swedish side.
SAPO has refused to confirm details.
- We have no further statements to make other than Anders Danielsson has already been done. That is, we never comments on ongoing, historical, planned or alleged operations, "says Sara Kvarnström, press secretary of the SAPO, told Aftonbladet.
Implications
According to terrorism expert Magnus Ranstorp, America's actions have implications for the many who were involved
- To conduct reconnaissance against Swedish citizens are serious. It has consequences. First, it leads to serious talks. Not only can it lead to the head of the CIA or any other embassy staff may go to the set of "cooling box" for a while, "he says.
