IS SWEDEN AN "OPEN SOCIETY"?

The Swedish police has arrested a 35-year old man as a suspect for the murder of Anna Lindh, Foreign Minister. According to the media, the man has been involved in neo-nazi (wrongly labeled by media as "extremist right-wing") activities.

How will this event affect the Swedish society? Read the NYT article on International Herald Tribune's web site, Violence forces Sweden to confront its dark side.
