(National-UAE) Sweden’s security service has warned an extremist network has been meeting at a school and says children are at risk of radicalisation.
It comes weeks after another school was shut down after it was revealed its staff had included former ISIS fighters.
In a statement to the School Inspectorate, seen by Swedish radio station P4 Gävleborg, Sweden’s security services Sapo said the students were at risk of being “subjected to radicalisation and recruitment to violent environments” at the Nya Kastet’s school in Gävle.
The statement revealed that an extremist network had held meetings in the school premises and that the imam of a mosque in Gävle, Gävleimamen Riyad Abdulkarim Jassim, also known as Abo Raad, had a significant influence on the school’s activities.
