"The Finnish Security Police (SUPO) are investigating death threats made against Minister for Foreign Affairs Ilkka 
Kanerva (Nat. Coalition Party)."

and later

"Liinu Lehto-Seljavaara, the SUPO head of communications, also did not give any details on the threats, nor would the 
police say if security precautions surrounding the Foreign Minister had been tightened.
"This is a solitary case, and there will be no comment. We are informed about security threats surrounding ministers", 
Lehto-Seljavaara said."

Ilkka Kanerva's undiplomatic mobile phone

"As one of Europe's most active diplomatic players, Ilkka Kanerva, the Finnish Foreign Minister, frequently reaches for 
his Nokia to mediate in world affairs. Indeed, his phone never stops ringing.

Then there is the underwear crisis, for which his phone is, apparently, equally useful. According to the Finnish 
tabloid Hymy, Mr Kanerva sent about 200 text messages from his office mobile to the blonde striptease dancer Johanna 
Tukiainen, one of which demanded to know what she was wearing under her tight dress.

Another message, tapped out between political meetings, suggested a three-in-a-bed arrangement with Johanna, 29, and 
her sister, Julia, who has worked in the pornography industry."
