STOCKHOLM: Sweden's biggest opposition party on Thursday called on the government to deploy the military to help stop a gang war that has seen eleven people shot dead so far this month and sparked outrage among citizens and politicians.

Andersson, who lost last year's election partly because voters disapproved of her government's ability to tackle crime, called on the prime minister to change the law to allow the military to assist the police in combating the gangs. Earlier this week, two people were shot dead and two injured when a gunman opened fire at a bar in Sandviken. The 11 shooting deaths this month make September the deadliest month since December 2019.
