update on Norway and Sweden: A Safe Haven for Dangerous Islamist Terrorists Add One More Name to List.. Finland
The Security Police (Supo) has found links between the Somali terrorist group al-Shabaab and individuals in Finland. The Islamist extremist group is blamed for several terror attacks abroad. According to Turun Sanomat and several other papers, Supo is keeping an eye on several dozen people who may have connections to al-Shabaab and other al-Qaida-style terror groups. The head of Supo's anti-terrorism unit, Lasse Anttila, confirms there are people in this country who have maintained contacts with al-Shabaab. Anttila says the Horn of Africa is a growing base for terrorism aimed against the West, and that it is the site of terrorist training camps. He says Supo are keeping track of possible connections between them and Finland. However, under Finnish law, participation in such camps is not a crime. Anttila adds that the situation in Finland is still stable. "In Finland, there hasn't been a single terrorism-related incident important enough to warrant even a preliminary investigation," Anttila says.
He also stresses that Supo has no definite knowledge of any Finnish resident who has been a combatant in Somalia.
Finland's Somali community is growing fast and stands at about 14,000 people at the moment. Anttila believes the majority of them to be well-intentioned.

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa
The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
