Finland's war on terrorism

[Michael Z]

Surprizing really

What?

Finland has up to a few dozen people living in the country with connections to international terrorist organisations. As SUPO sees it, some of them might be capable of perpetrating terrorist acts themselves.

and some other stuff there

Yes. It's very frightening.

Finland looks to me as one of the last reasonble places for a terror attack

Wasn't there a bomb in a Helsinki shopping mall a few years ago? Of course that had nothing to do with Islamic fundamentalists, but it goes to show that even a place like Finland isn't immune from this kind of atrocity.

Yes there was. It was a Finnish lunatic without any connections to "real" terrorists and political motives. He had got his knowledge about explosives from Internet. 6 people was killed including suicide bomber.

It's frightening that people can just find out how to build a bomb on the internet. We had our own lunatic like that in London, a right-wing extremist who bombed a gay pub and two areas with a high proportion of ethnic minorities. There are some scary people in this world...
