Sweden, with one of the largest populations of expatriate Iranians in Europe, has been a particular target of Tehran over recent years after a series of Koran burnings and the arrest and trial of the Iranian prosecutor Hamid Nouri in Stockholm. The Swedish security service, known as Sapo, has previously said Iran has recruited criminals in Sweden to carry out attacks.
