SWEDEN: Officials said today they will summon the Iraqi  ambassador in Stockholm to protest against death sentences received by Swedes in Iraq.

Last month, Stockholm protested over a death sentence given to a Swede. On Thursday, two more cases were confirmed, bringing the total to at least three Swedes who have been sentenced to death in Iraq in recent weeks. 

SLOVAKIA: The suspect in the attempted assassination in May of Slovakia’s populist prime minister Robert Fico is now facing terror charges as part of an investigation by authorities, the country’s prosecutor general said today.
