Truck attack in Sweden

A man drove a semi truck into pedestrians along Drottninggatan, a popular shopping street in central Stockholm, Sweden, on April 7, killing five people and wounding eight others. A suspicious device was found in the abandoned truck and destroyed. 

The attacker, identified as an Uzbek national who had been denied Swedish residency in December 2016, was arrested a few days later and admitted to the crime. Though no group claimed responsibility for the attack, evidence showed that the suspect had expressed interest in the Islamist militant group Daesh.
