Sweden lowers national threat level
Sweden's security service said on Friday it had lowered the national threat assessment by one notch to "elevated" from "high", citing a gradual change in the overall situation.
"The threat of attacks from violent extremism has been reduced for some time," Sweden's SAPO security police said in a statement.
SAPO had raised the threat level to "high", the second highest level, in 2023 after Koran burnings by individuals in Sweden outraged Muslims in several countries and triggered jihadist threats.

Martyr Sayyed Nasrallah Lovers Visit Shrine to Complain Israeli Air Raids on Dahieh, South Lebanon
Hours after intensive overnight Israeli air raids on Beirut's Dahieh and Ain Qana town in South Lebanon, lovers of Master of Umma Martyrs Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah visited his shrine to mark Al-Adha Eid (when Muslims recite the Opening Surah of Coran Holy Book at graves to bless their souls) and complain about the Zionist aggression. The Israeli enemy launched on Thursday a wave of strikes targeting residential buildings in Beirut's southern suburb, Dahiyeh, on the eve of Eid Al-Adha. The Resistance supporters reiterated allegiance to the path of the great martyr, affirming that his unseen presence after martyrdom influences their commitment powerfully. The Israeli aerial aggression on Beirut's Dahieh destroyed 9 buildings and damaged 71 buildings, 50 cars, and 177 institutions.

Three Iranians in UK court accused of assisting Tehran spy service
Three Iranian men appeared in court in London on Friday accused of assisting Iran's foreign intelligence service and plotting violence against journalists working for a British-based broadcaster critical of Tehran. The three men - Mostafa Sepahvand, 39, Farhad Javadi Manesh, 44, and Shapoor Qalehali Khani Noori, 55, - have been charged with offences under Britain's National Security Act, brought in to give the authorities new powers to target threats from foreign states. They are accused of "engaging in conduct likely to assist a foreign intelligence service" between August 2024 and February this year, and police have said that it related to Iran. Sepahvand is also charged with carrying out surveillance in preparation to commit serious violence against a person, while Manesh and Noori were charged with surveillance with the intention that serious violent acts would be committed by others. The men appeared by video link on Friday for a brief hearing at London's Old Bailey court during which their lawyers said all intended to plead not guilty to the charges.
