Sweden will do whatever it takes, including sending in the army, to end a wave of violence that has seen a string of deadly shootings, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said in Wednesday.

Sweden's murder rate is relatively low in international terms, but gang violence has surged in recent years and Swedes are worried that the police are unable to cope.

In 2016, the latest year for which official statistics are available, 106 people were murdered in Sweden, a country of 10 million.

But Swedish TV reported there were over 300 shootings, mostly in turf battles between gangs over drugs, protection rackets and prostitution.

  The state forbids such reports. Criticism of islam is not allowed even if the data backs it up. Have some anecdotes instead.

  If you don't like the English language sources above, then you can hire a Swedish to English translatoer or put pressure on the big name news sites to start covering it. They''ll need a large group for defence though as more reporters than this Australian have learned the hard way:
