No Go Zones in Sweden

It is often alleged that some areas in Sweden have such high concentrations of Muslim immigrants that the police avoid going there, so-called "no go" areas. The Swedish government has denied the existence of these.

However, Power Line senior blogger John Hinderaker reports that there are regions in Malmo where neither the post office (Postnord) nor UPS will deliver packages.

Aftonbladet, one of Sweden’s principal newspapers, reports, in English via Google Translator:

The transport company UPS no longer runs packages in Rosengård in Malmö, for security reasons. Postnord does not deliver packages to another area in Malmö, Seved.

So the immigrant-heavy areas of Malmo and even Stockholm may not be “no go” zones for the police, but civilian organizations, like UPS and the Swedish post office, don’t dare expose their employees to the risk of violence.

Reminds me of a mental image I've found wryly amusing. Namely, a UPS van driving with its side doors open as usual and in the passenger-side door a pintle-mounted, air-cooled .30 caliber machine gun and standing door gunner - Apocalypse Now-style - as though the van were a Huey headed into a hot LZ.
