Iraq Expels Swedish Ambassador, Withdraws Charge d’Affaires from Stockholm
Update (0826 EST): Iraqi pro-militia outlet Sabereen has announced that the names and addresses of Swedish companies operating in Iraq will be published and targeted by Shia groups. The Iraqi government has already suspended the license for Swedish company Ericsson to operate in Iraqi territory. The Iraqi Media and Communications Commissions may opt to suspend more licenses such as Volvo from operating in the country as relations continue to sour. However, in a positive note, Iraqi militant groups did call to exert restraint in targeting workers of the Swedish Red Crescent which operates in Mansour, Iraq.
