"Sweden Deploys Military to Combat Gangs alongside Police"

Sweden's government has announced plans to allow the military to provide greater assistance to the police in combating the country's ongoing crime wave, which has resulted in 12 deaths in September alone. Shootings, often carried out by gangs and even teenagers, have become a daily occurrence in Sweden. The government aims to explore ways for the military and police to cooperate, including logistics, IT-forensics, bomb expertise, and analytics. The law may also be changed to widen the circumstances in which the police can request military help. The government has received offers of assistance from neighboring Nordic countries, as the situation is unprecedented in Sweden and Europe.
