Swedish government in crisis mode after security breach ensnares ministers

Stockholm

SWEDEN'S government was dragged into a deepening crisis as the opposition united to demand no-confidence votes be cast against three Cabinet ministers for their handling of breaches that may have put classified information in the hands of foreign powers.

The four parties in the main opposition bloc - known as the Alliance - called for the motions to be brought against Home Affairs Minister Anders Ygeman, Infrastructure Minister Anna Johansson and Defence Minister Peter Hultqvist during a joint press conference in Stockholm on Wednesday.
