| Seven months after Sweden's foreign minister was fatally stabbed, another government minister was punched by an attacker this week but wasn't seriously injured, officials said Saturday. Swedish media reported Integration Minister Mona Sahlin was hit on the shoulder during a political rally Thursday. Police confirmed the attack but would not provide details. "She has been exposed to an attack," the head of Sweden's security police, Klas Bergenstrand, told The Associated Press. "This shows that even if there isn't a concrete threat against a public person, there is always an abstract, latent and serious threat." Sahlin wasn't seriously injured, her spokeswoman Camila Buzaglo said. |
