From Berlingske.dk - a danish newspaper, translated by me, dec. 25h, 2009:
Media all over the world brought last week the story of how the sign with the text "Arbeit Macht Frei", that hangs over the entrance to the former nazi-death camp, Auschwitz, had been stolen.
The three words over the entrance to the KZ-camp - where more than one million people were gassed to death, is with the diabolical lie "Works sets you free" the epitome of nazi evil, and the theft was condemned as a disrespect towards the dead.
Now it turns out that the theft is linked to a swedish militant, ultra-nationalist group, who has been making plans to cause a blood bath in Riksdagen, and attack prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt.
After the five metre long sign with the infamous text had been stolen, polish police immediately arrested three presumed perpetrators in a city 300 kms from Auschwitz.
The arrest led the police to a nearby forest, where the 40 kilo sign was hidden, cut out in three pieces, and during the following interrogations, the three men revealed that the theft was an order, and that they would get what amounts to 35.000 Dkr, and that the sign had been ordered by a recipient in Sweden.
Shortly afterwards, another two men were arrested in th eharbour city of Gdansk, where there's a ferry connection going to and from Karlskrona on the eastern coast of Sweden.
A theory is that the two should have brought the sign with them to Sweden.
Polish police has been investigating the arrested men's cell phone traffic, and discovered that a lot of calls has been placed to a certain telephone number in Sweden.
According to the information that the swedish newspaper Aftonbladet has, the sign should have been sold to a collector, who were ready to pay a lot of money.
A source in the nazi groups in Sweden tells the newspaper, that his part was to set up contact with the buyer - who isn't swedish, but who alledgedly were prepared to pay millions for the sign.
Aftonbladet, who states that the source is a defected swedish nazi leader, found out that the source - instead of dismissing his nazi beliefs - is a member of a militant ultra-nationalist group, who had planned to attack the swedish government among others, and that the sign were meant to finance the terror attacks.
The source admits according to Aftonbladet, that he don't think that the traditional nazi groups can make a difference because the members are too stupid, and that he admires the german terrorists Baader-Meinhof, "who were ready to act", and that the goal today is "to prevent the islamisation of society".
As a part of that struggle, the group would gain entrance to the Swedish parliament, Riksdagen, according to the newspaper, their plan was to open fire on the members of Riksdagen.
The group has also had plans about attacking Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt's private home, and the Foreign Ministry.
A spokesman for the police intelligence service, Säpo, comfirms the threat:
"We are aware of the information of the alledged terror plans, and we have been aware of it for a while", press secretary Patrik Peter says, and he further states that the police has done what they can to counteract the plans without elaborating on the means.
According to Aftonbladet, the group is split in two parts:
Five members should perform the acts of terror, and the rest would be raising the money needed.
According to the newspaper, the group had automatic weapons, explosives and old, but still functional Russian anti-tank weapons.
A more recent comment from the same newspaper – Berlingske.dk, the 26th of december:
It is unknown how serious the police takes the group. So far there is only media rumours about who they are, and what they can accomplish.
