Säpo, Sweden's Security Service, has raised the country's terror threat level to 'high' for the first time in history.

The threat level has been raised to "high threat", the fourth most serious out of five possible categories.

According to Säpo's definition, this means that "the probability that players have the intent and ability to carry out attacks is high".

"One of the reasons for the increase is that the security service has received concrete information and concluded that we must act within the framework of our counter-terrorism work," Säpo said in a press release issued at around 3.30pm on Wednesday.

3. My hunch is that the terrorists want to commit simultaneous attacks across Europe

at some point and that's why they wanted to infiltrate hundreds of thousands of migrants into every country.

That way they would have a large pool of potentially disgruntled second class citizens from which to recruit.
