Title: Russia under suspicion after sabotage of Swedish telecom mast

Police suspect international saboteurs and have contacted Sweden’s spy service to investigate

The suspected sabotage of two telecommunications masts – key parts of Sweden’s infrastructure – has reignited fears of foreign spies and the readiness of depleted security services in a country on the frontline of growing tensions with Russia.

A 300-metre-high mast in south-western Sweden collapsed on Sunday in what police say was sabotage. Police suspect either a prankster, local extremists or international saboteurs and have contacted the country’s spy service to investigate.

“We are 100% certain the tower has been sabotaged,” police head investigator Jan Johansson told the Aftonbladet newspaper. “It could be something international, that they want to test what happens when taking out a mast like this.”
