Sweden On Alert

Swedish police were hunting today for a man wanted for "planning a terrorist act", security services said, with the country on high alert following the deadly terror assault in Paris last week.

The British-born winner of the Nobel Economics Prize joked on Monday that he worried the telephone call from Sweden alerting him of the award might have been a prank.

Sweden raised the security alert for the country's nuclear power plants on Thursday after explosives were found on a truck at the southwestern atomic power station Ringhals and police said they were investigating possible sabotage.

Sweden raised the country's terror threat alert to its highest level ever because of an increased threat of terror attacks, security officials said on Friday.
