This article reports on threats against Mona Sahlin, leader of the left-wing opposition in Sweden. The candidate for Prime Minister received a series of threatening emails and letters, and the police started an investigation on the matter. Ms Sahlin has been targeted before: in 2004, a man punched her during a visit in a Northern town and in 1995 she was forced to work in a bullet-proof room.
