Poles held over Sweden asylum centre attack plot
9 February 2016 Europe
Fourteen Polish far-right activists have been arrested in Sweden on suspicion of planning to attack asylum seekers with axes, iron pipes and knives, police say.
They were detained on Monday after police said they received a tip-off.
The group was thought to have targeted an asylum centre in Nynashamn, about 60km (37 miles) south of Stockholm.
Some 163,000 people applied for asylum in Sweden in 2015, the highest number in Europe by population size.
