* A major swedish news agency claims the operation to shut down TPB was initiated by high-level political pressure from the USA. Supposedly the swedish justice department then put pressure on law enforcement agencies to shut down TPB even though previous investigations have shown TPB to be compliant with swedish law. This obviously violates the constitution and could potentially create a lot of problems for the justice department and its head Thomas Bodström. Many of the major media sites have now made these allegations their top story.
* The homepage of the swedish police (polisen.se) is currently inaccessible, most likely due to a DoS type attack.
