Stockholm lorry rams crowds, killing 'at least three people'
#4
Just an update of how this poor man decided his targets whilst on the scene.

Stockholm attack driver 'deliberately targeted young children' as he drove
hijacked lorry into crowd.

'A suspected terrorist targeted young children as he drove a hijacked lorry into a crowded shopping
street in Stockholm, witnesses claimed last night.

Infants’ buggies were sent “flying through the air”, one Swedish broadcaster reported, as the vehicle
zigzagged along the pedestrianised Queen Street shopping district and embedded itself in the window
of a department store.

“It swerved from side to side. It didn’t look out of control, it was trying to hit people,” a second witness,
Glen Foran, an Australian tourist, told Reuters. “It hit people, it was terrible. It hit a pram with a kid in it,
demolished it.”

Swedish police said on Saturday morning that they believe a 39-year-old suspect was behind the truck
attack which left four dead and 15 injured, but declined to comment on reports that the suspect was a
father-of-four from Uzbekistan.

The unnamed suspect reportedly confessed to the attack after being detained in Marsta, which is
around 25 miles north of the Swedish capital.

Some reports suggested he had previously posted jihadist propaganda on his Facebook page and
had images of people injured in the explosion at the Boston marathon in April 2013.

Police found explosives in the truck used in the attack in Stockholm, Swedish television said on Saturday
citing multiple unnamed police sources. Eight victims, including children, remain in hospital, according to
Swedish media.
Three of the victims died at the scene, a report said, while one died after arriving at the hospital...'
