Sweden has been a European hotspot for gang-related shootings and bombings for several years .
Last year , more than 60 people died in gun violence, the highest number on record.
Police say one reason is that gang members are increasingly targeting rivals' relatives.
Some of the latest violence has been organised by criminal leaders based in other countries.
Police do not currently map gang members' nationalities, but research shows young people born in Sweden to two parents from abroad were overrepresented as suspects in murder cases and robberies.
The right-wing coalition government believes the rise in gang violence in recent years is directly connected to Sweden 's earlier immigration policies.
