Embassy receives terror threat

The Thai Embassy in Sweden has received a letter threatening attacks against Thailand if Thai troops are not immediately withdrawn from Iraq.

 

It received the letter posted from the Swedish city of Malmo on Monday, said government spokesman Jakrapob Penkair.

 

?The letter threatened terror attacks against Thailand if it does not pull Thai troops from Iraq immediately. It said Thailand will be attacked for siding with the US,? Jakrapob said.

 

A Foreign Ministry source said the letter was written in Arabic and that Swedish authorities were taking the threat seriously as they had concluded it was not a prank. After receiving the threat, the embassy alerted the Swedish government and asked for increased police protection of its premises in Stockholm.

 

Foreign Ministry spokesman Sihasak Phuangketkeow said Sweden?s security agencies are investigating.
