Three Killed in Sweden after Truck Drove into Crowd

Three Killed in Sweden after Truck Drove into Crowd

Alwaght- Three people were killed when a hijacked truck drove into a crowd on a shopping street and crashed into a department store in the Swedish capital, Stockholm on Friday.

Officers said they were treating the incident as terror-related and the prime minister, Stefan Löfven, said everything indicated it was a terror attack.

The capital was immediately locked down as police set up barricades, suspended public transport and told people to avoid the city center. Police later evacuated the central train station close to where the attack took place. The country’s national rail company said all train services to the capital had been cancelled for the day.

Photos on social media showed the truck crashed into the corner of the Ahlens upmarket shopping center with its cab on fire.

The truck, a delivery vehicle belonging to the brewery Spendrups, was hijacked earlier in the day. The company confirmed it was stolen on Friday morning when a man jumped into the cab and drove it away.

Sever The scene is near the site of a December 2010 attack which saw a man rig a car with explosives, in an effort to drive people to Drottninggatan - where the Friday incident took place. From there, he planned to set off devices strapped to his chest and back. The car bomb never went off, and the attacker died when one of his devices detonated. Two others were injured.

Several attacks in which trucks or cars have driven into crowds have taken place in Europe in the past year.

In London last month, a man in a car ploughed into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, killing four, and then stabbed a policeman to death before being shot by police.

In Nice, France, last July, a truck killed 86 people celebrating Bastille Day, and one in Berlin in December smashed through a Christmas market, killing 12 people.
