The Police Security Service, the Intelligence Service, and the National Security Authority presented their public threat assessments on Friday.

“The PST considers it possible that right-wing extremists, as well as extreme Islamists, will try to carry out terrorist acts in 2022,” the PST’s report warns.

The PST believes it is unlikely that a person with anti-state convictions will attempt a terrorist act. It also finds it very unlikely that left-wing extremists and activists related to climate and environmental and nature conservation will attempt terrorist acts.
