"The gang is believed to have been formed in Roskilde by Palestinian immigrants"
You feed the snake than get bitten by it...
I think the people of Sweden should be allowed to sue their govt. for ruining their own country.
The reality show they just miss home and think peace is too boring...
Nice one, Sweden was a safe place to stay- I wonder whats left out there.
I wonder how long will take until they remove from this one...
I propose only reciprocation.If any Swede or person of the EU so wishes I suggest they have a right to demand that the Saudi.Kuwait and EU royals open a homeland for Palestinian or Afghanistan or other Mideast refugees including the Iraq
Aramaic speaking Christianswhose Iraq homeland has been decimated by their collusion with the U.S. and Israelis who
caused 9/11 and themost recent chaos in Middle East and world history to begin with.
It was the Kuwait Al Sabah royals who with Marvin Bush,lesser known of the G.H.W.Bush's idiot killer sons,as well as Mishal Al Sabah backed by their families who 'guarded' Dulles and the WTC bewfore and on 9/11 in the first place leading to a Shiite facist 'democaracy' that destroyed Tariq Aziz Christian Aramaic(language of 'Jesus)speaking people in the first place.It was the SAUDIS WHO FUNDED MANY OF THE SAUDI SUSPECTS IN THE 9/11 TRAGEDY AS WELL.It was the Sheikh Mohamed of Dubai whose country and banks sent money pre 9/11 to Mohamed Atta at Wally Hilliard's terrorist flight school in Venice,Florida owned by Wally Hilliard,friend to ex Florida Governor Jeb Bush.Of course it was also the Dutch or Netherlands who had two citizens training them there !And the Netheralands has also hosted the main office of Israeli scum
and Israeli government connected ICTS International who besides running a massive stock fraud against American citizens,also bought Huntleigh airpot-renta-cops and the contract to 'guard Logan Airport(where the two planes that hit the New York WTC on 9/11/01 originated from in the first place! 's say the Israelis,Saudis,Kuwaitis,Dubai and UAE OWE US all war reparations for 9/11 and part of that should include them sacificing for a change a providing a homeland for those there terrorism or incompetence displacer.Tell Bildt to dicuss that with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Barck Obama and his Israeli Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel !
Maybe some Swedes would like to try their hands at desert agriculture and have a Koran and Torah free MidEast zone.I'd say Bildt shopuld be lobbyimng for you for a change and not for Barack Osama and Rahm Emanuel and the shekhs of Kuwait and Dubai and Saudi Arabia or religuious fanatics of Israel ! Save the Europeans for a change who in turn might found a free zonein the Middle Est for displaced Arabs and Aramaic Christian Brck Osama and his Shiite 'democracy' in Iraq is holocausting ! Maybe we could get the Swedish Christian churches to back this idea !
Not that facts will matter, but the firm where Marvin Bush was a director of, Securacom, sold, installed, and serviced security equipment like cameras and turnstyles. They were never in charge of security at the WTC. On 9/11 the NY Port Authority was in charge of security and always had been. Moreover, Bush left the company in 2000.
Does the anonymous 'investor' label in your alis mean you tout penny stocks and corporate fraud that violate international security such as Securacom indisputably did ?
This not being a penny stock board you must feel out of place.
Next you'll be denying that Securacom was a fraudulent
'public' company and that it that not only did it do a good job(where are its surveillance photos of Saudi terrorists boarding at Dulles Airport on 9/11 ?)in it's survellence of Dulles on 9/11 but also the WTC.Go ahead and defend giving the idiot Bush son Marvin and his Kuwait royalty Al Sabah terrorist partner access to U.S.nuclear research site at Los Alamos,New Mexico while your at it.
The boys also liked nanothermite apperently which is what some suspect brought down the WTC...JUST A COINCIDENCE OF COURSE.

Mishal Al Sabah of Kuwait royalty with his 'blood hate' of Saddam Hussein had a conflict of interest in guarding sites of strategic national security in the U.S. that might be used to frame their enemy in the first place.But than so did Marvin Bush whose daddy shared that hate as well as friendship with real 'islamofacists who control Saudi Arabia,Kuwait,Dubai,UAE,ETC..All three,(including Bush cousin Wirt Walker III), were also running a stock fraud as the sham 'company' went public in 1997 at $8.50 per share and daddy Bush and Sheikh Al Sabah had to be behind allowing AND ENCOURAGING their sleezy idiot pervert sons to be in the wrong place at the wriong time in the first place.:

Demolition Access To The WTC Towers: Part Two - Security
by Kevin R. Ryan
August 13, 2009
Scoop Independent News
Marvin Bush was a director of Securacom from 1993 to 2000. [114] Bush was hired as part of a new management team when Securacom separated from Burns and Roe. It was just at that time that the PANYNJ and Kroll began planning for the extensive rebuilding of the security systems at the WTC complex. As his stint with Securacom ended, Marvin Bush became a principal in the company HCC Insurance, one of the insurance carriers for the World Trade Center. Bush was also a director of Kerrco, an oil company in Houston.
Bush was the cofounder of Winston partners in 1993, a company that benefited greatly from the War on Terror. In 2000, Winston Partners invested heavily in a defense contractor called AMSEC, that was 55% owned by SAIC. It has been noted that SAIC was not only the largest non-governmental contributor to the NIST WTC report, it was also a company that had expertise in nanothermite technology. [115]
Why the baseless personal accusations? I'm not one of the Bushes.
The 9/11 "truther" sites quoted contain quite a bit of misinformation. Securacom sold, installed, and serviced security equipment such as cameras and turnstyles at the WTC. They were not in charge of security there. The NYC Port Authority was in charge of security. Marvin Bush had left the firm in 2000, long before 9/11. There's no evidence Wirt Walker III is related to the Bushes.
Anyone interested in seeing the 9/11 "truther" nonsense thouroughly debunked should check out the excellent job the engineers at Popular Mechanics have done.
