A Swedish radio station said a pirate broadcaster compromised its Friday morning show and broadcast a pop song in English urging listeners to join the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The pirate broadcast occurred in Malmo, Sweden’s third largest city with a population of approximately 350,000 people.
The 24Malmo news site reported Friday that a recruitment song titled “For the Sake of Allah” played for about 30 minutes both on its FM frequency and on its internet-based station. The song lasts three minutes and was played on a continuous loop about 10 times.
A spokesman for the station’s owner, Bauer Media, said the incident would be reported to local police and a Swedish government agency responsible for monitoring electronic communications.
