Paul Dallison and Stephen Brown reporting Aug. 14 in Politico Europe:
Cars were set alight across Sweden overnight in what police believe was a coordinated attack orchestrated on social media. . . .
“I am really surprised. My question for these people is ‘what the hell are you up to?’ ” Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said.
“You’re ruining things for yourselves, for your parents, for the whole community, for the neighbors and most of Swedish society is dead against this,” he told Swedish national radio’s news show Ekot.
“It seems very coordinated, almost like a military operation. Eighty cars—what is that all about?” asked Löfven.
