It's relevant since the system is overstretched by the amount of people arriving, which would allow for other stuff like this to slip through the net. Sweden (either immigration bureau or the government) did go out yesterday and officially statedthat they aren't show to provide housing any more and that people should stay where they are if they have housing there rather than risk not getting it here. There might have been something about not taking any more asylum applications as well (the waiting period for the asylum process is now 3 years - longer than you have the right to stay according to the new asylum policy), but I'm not 100 on if I remember that correctly.

Back to LW's article though - it should be noted that Avpixlat ("Depixled") is a notorious right wing conservative site. Furrhermore, while I didn't read the Swedish version of the article I don't think it was made clear what kinds of weapons it was, and the rural border to Norway is well known for it's large amount (relatively speaking) of illegal stashes of WW2 weapons in various states of disrepair. So I would need clarification that this stash was really owned or brought in by immigrants, and preferably by a less biased source, and not just kept there by the owner of the housing site, before I could conclude if this I'd trustworthy or not. Because because it is from Avpixlat I immediately think it's likely to be angled somehow or otherwise kit telling the whole truth.

Whether the source is Russia or Norway the consumer market is of most significance :D

The Swedish definition of "notorious right wing conservative" is roughly equivalent to the American definition of "Moderate".

An UK flight en route to that sharm el-sheilh airport had to dodge a missile

Yeee. I think both UK and Russia may need to send fighter escorts to intercept missiles just in case during those rescue flights.

Edit: Wait, that was way back in August.

So they successfully covered up a missile flying in spitting distance to a civilian aircraft.... for three months...

How many other incidents of this variety have happened without public disclosure, I wonder?

This site doesn't look all that reliable, especially with those "young pirates of Europe" links on the right side. Any other sources?

That's probably the Pirate Party's youth organisations' collaboration group, or something.
