Hijacked Swedish radio station played IS recruitment song
A Swedish radio station was hijacked by unknown individuals on Friday and subsequently played a propaganda song by the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS). The song was played several times over the course of 30 minutes.
A spokesperson for Mix Megapol explained that their frequency had been hijacked in the middle of a popular morning show. This was not noticed immediately, however, but only when listeners called in. The terrorist organization's recruitment song was in English.
Mix Megapol is one of the country's largest radio stations with around 1.4 million listeners in almost all of Sweden. However, the propaganda song could only be heard in the large city of Malmö - within the range of the pirate transmitter. (SDA)
