According to the authority, as is increased vigilance lot about how we handle information. They urge not to spread speculation and rumors, but instead you should think through what might be true and not.
– It is important not to dilute what to Sweden may be incorrect and harmful information, the could play into the hands of terrorists.
“based on fear”
According to Mikael Tofvesson should set alarm bells ringing if you take part of something that makes one angry or provoked. Is the information really spectacular as it is usually not true.
– Terrorism is based on a wish to create fear, distrust of society and a split. Then it is important not to give the terrorists to play on the board by creating rumors.
MSB urge all to read the police, or SAPO’s website to find out what’s right and not.
