Swedish authorities detain 5 individuals with alleged terror links and connection to Quran burning.

Five men have been arrested in Sweden on suspicion of aiding and abetting terrorist offenses related to the burning of a Quran in January. The suspects have international links to violent Islamist extremism, according to the country's domestic security agency. The arrests followed extensive intelligence and investigative work, and an attack is not imminent. The burning of the Quran triggered protests around the world, and the suspects were said to be in a planning phase. Sweden's Administrative Court has ruled that freedom of assembly and demonstration are constitutionally protected rights and overturned the police decision to deny permission for protests involving the burning of a Quran.
