Jihadi suspect arrested in Sweden after crossing Arctic Circle on a BICYCLE to sneak into Europe via the backdoor

But there is no way in the world a terrorist would try and slip into country as a refugee.

An Islamic State terror suspect crossed the Arctic Circle by bicycle to sneak into Europe.

Armed police seized Mutar Muthanna Majid, 25, at a refugee hostel in Boliden, north-east Sweden, on Thursday night.

Iraqi-born Majid was among several dozen migrants who flew from Turkey, via Moscow, to the Russian arctic port of Murmansk, police said.

From there, they bought bicycles and cycled 80 miles to the Norwegian border, which allows them to cross without checks – making use of a loophole that allows cyclists to be waved across the border.

Some remained in Norway, while others including Majid, headed across Finland to Sweden, officials in Stockholm said.

Majid – said to be a member of IS – is believed to have been plotting terrorist acts in northern Europe, according to the Swedish intelligence service Sapo.

A Sapo statement said: ‘The arrest took place in a calm manner and an interrogation with the person is planned.

  1. FWIW (BFH will love this)-

    I just returned from a road trip: L.A.> AZ> NM> CO> AZ> L.A.
    There are now orange road signs on I 40 and I 25 warning bicyclists to Stay On the Shoulder, and motorists to Share The Road.

    Bicyclists. On the Interstates!!

  2. This guy wants him some Virgins.
    I’d give an A for effort, A for ingenuity, and an A for deviousness.
    …And a bacon infused bullet in the head for being a Terrorist Bastard.
    Then his body gets thrown to the pigs. Filmed and broadcast, of course, so his friends know not to expect him in Paradise.
    Martyrdom Nullified.

  3. Shoot all bicyclists.

    I’ve favored this approach ever since Bloomberg got the genius idea to install bike lanes on some of midtown Manhattan ‘ s busiest streets.
