On 7 April 2017, in central Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, a hijacked truck was deliberately driven into crowds along Drottninggatan (Queen Street) before crashing into the front of an Åhléns department store. Four people were killed and at least fifteen pedestrians were injured, nine seriously.
Police are treating the attack as terrorism. Rakhmat Akilov, a 39-year-old failed asylum seeker from Uzbekistan, was apprehended the same day. He is suspected on probable cause of terrorist crimes through murder. Swedish police said he had shown sympathy for Islamic State (ISIS), and the Uzbek authorities said he had joined ISIS before the attack. Akilov admitted to carrying out the attack at a pre-trial hearing on 11 April.
Attack
The attack took place at about 14:53 local time (12:53 UTC). It began when a delivery truck for Spendrups, a major Swedish brewery, was hijacked while making a delivery to Adolf Fredriks Kyrkogata in central Stockholm. According to a Spendrups press release, the driver attempted to stop the hijacker by standing in front of the truck, but when the hijacker accelerated towards him, he had to jump out of the way and was lightly hurt.
The hijacker immediately drove the truck at speed into a pedestrian street. It traveled about 500 metres (1,600 ft) down Drottninggatan (Queen Street), one of Stockholm's main shopping streets, hitting pedestrians along the way. Witnesses said the hijacker attempted to target children as he zigzagged on the street. The attack ended when the truck rammed the Åhléns City department store on the corner of Drottninggatan and Mäster Samuelsgatan. The truck caught fire, but the flames were quickly doused by firefighters. The hijacker jumped out and fled the scene.
A homemade bomb was reportedly found in the truck after it was abandoned by the hijacker. Police sources said the device was found in a bag and had not been detonated, adding that the attacker had been burned by it. The head of the Swedish police, Dan Eliasson, later said they had found a suspicious object in the drivers' seat that "could be a bomb or an incendiary device", pending further investigation.
Casualties
Four people died as a result of the attack. They were identified as 41-year-old British Spotify executive Chris Bevington, 31-year-old Belgian psychologist Maïlys Dereymaeker, and two Swedish citizens: 69-year-old Lena Berglund, and 11-year-old Ebba Åkerlund. At least fifteen others were injured, nine of them seriously. A pet dog was also killed.
The chief medical doctor at Karolinska University Hospital stated on the day of the attack that the hospital was treating "a handful" of people, and that their injuries were "quite serious". On 21 April, the Stockholm County Council said one person remained hospitalized after the attack.
Aftermath
Immediate response
The Parliament House and the metro system were locked down in response to the attack, and Stockholm Central Station was evacuated. All trains to and from Stockholm were put on hold, with traffic only resuming later in the evening.
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said in a press statement that the attack appeared to be terrorism, and that police and security services were treating it as such. Two days after the attack, Löfven said the following:
I wish today to first address you who grieve someone you've lost or worry for someone who is injured. You should know that all of Sweden is with you. We know that our enemies are these awful murderers – not one-another.
King Carl XVI Gustaf, on behalf of the Royal Family, gave their condolences, stating, "Our hearts go out to the victims of this terrible tragedy, and to their families."
Swedish media reported on those who chose to help the injured, especially medical doctors working nearby who ran to help those in need. Police from all over Stockholm were called in to assist after the attack.
Swedish border controls were tightened following the attack, and travelers from other countries, including Nordic countries, were advised by police to bring their passports. However, the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) did not raise the risk assessment from "level 3" (on a scale of 1 to 5), the level it had been at since 2010.
On the day of the attack, Norwegian police said officers in the country's largest cities and at Oslo Airport would be armed. The day after the attack, a man was arrested and part of the Grønland district of Oslo closed off by police after a "bomb-like" device was found, which was later destroyed in a controlled explosion. The man, a 17-year-old Russian citizen, was charged on 9 April with illegal possession of an explosive device. The man arrived with his family in Norway as an asylum seeker in 2010, and was known to the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) for having expressed support for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS). With his background from the Caucasus, the 17-year-old has been linked to two other young Chechen men from the same martial arts club in the northern village Vadsø who traveled to fight for ISIS in Syria. The events led PST to raise the terror alert, indicating that attempted attacks during the coming year are "likely". Police patrols were also increased in Finland's capital Helsinki.
Reactions
Domestic
On 9 April, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said the government intended to change immigration law to facilitate the removal of people whose applications to stay in Sweden have been rejected.
On 9 April, more than forty thousand people gathered on Sergels torg (Sergel's Square) in Stockholm to honor the victims. Many people visited the site of the attack, leaving flowers and candles for the victims on Sergels Torg and on Drottninggatan, resulting in what was described as a "sea of flowers". Flowers were also left at Götaplatsen in Sweden's second-biggest city Gothenburg.
After the attack, there were proposals in Aftonbladet—one of Sweden's biggest newspapers—that vehicles be banned from Stockholm city center so they cannot be used as weapons, citing the use of vehicles as terrorist weapons in Nice, Berlin, Jerusalem, London, and Stockholm.
The department store Åhléns had planned to re-open two days after the attack, but received heavy criticism after saying they would be selling smoke-damaged clothing at reduced rates. Åhléns later chose to stay closed for one more day and not to sell any damaged clothing.
The Swedish far-right was accused of trying to profit from the attack, producing fake news and circulating fake quotations online. This included tweets and social media posts from officials of the Sweden Democrats, a right-wing nationalist party. A man with a name similar to that of the main suspect was falsely implicated on the website Avpixlat.
Following the attack, the social media website Facebook was criticized for not deleting images of badly wounded or dead victims. On 11 April, a Facebook spokesman said the website had begun deleting the images.
International
The lights on the Eiffel Tower were switched off on the evening of the attack to mourn the deaths. Nice, a city which bore witness to a similar but deadlier attack in 2016, raised the Swedish flag at half-mast the day after the attack to show solidarity with the Swedish people. In Brussels, where a terrorist attack took place a year earlier, the ING Marnix building near the Throne metro station was also decorated with a moving Swedish flag animation.
Responses by the heads of state or foreign ministers of several European countries were issued within hours of the attack. However, discussion among US news media and officials was dominated by the American missile strike in Syria, which happened the same day.
Stéphane Dujarric, the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General of the United Nations, said, "Our sympathy goes to the families of the victims and all those affected and we wish the injured a prompt recovery. The United Nations stands in solidarity with the people and Government of Sweden". Pope Francis also said prayers for the victims of the attack.
Danish government minister Inger Støjberg expressed concerns that at least 12,000 illegal immigrants were still living in Sweden after having their asylum applications rejected. She said that if satisfactory answers could not be given by the Swedish government, Denmark would consider implementing border checks on the Danish side of the border. The only border checks done in April 2017 were on the Swedish side.
Suspect
Swedish police initially published pictures of a man wearing a hooded jacket, who they wanted to question over the attack. At 19:55 (17:55 UTC) on 7 April, Rakhmat Akilov, a 39-year-old construction worker from Uzbekistan, was apprehended in Märsta, north of Stockholm, suspected, on probable cause, of "terrorist crimes through murder". The police said he had been found "behaving suspiciously with minor injuries" and was believed to have driven the truck. He was officially arrested at 01:15 on 8 April, and formally identified by the Swedish Prosecution Authority on 11 April.
The Swedish Security Service (Säpo) was heavily involved in the investigation. In 2016, Säpo had received some information on the suspect, but were unable to confirm it when they followed up on it. They reportedly deemed him a "marginal figure" on the fringes of extremist groups.
Akilov arrived in Sweden on 10 October 2014. He claimed asylum, saying he needed refuge from "the Uzbek security services which he claims tortured him and accused him of terrorism and treason". However, Sweden's Migration Board ruled that there was no evidence of this, and in late 2016, Akilov was ordered to leave Sweden within four weeks. When he failed to do so voluntarily and did not appear at the Swedish Migration Agency when called, the case was referred to the police; however, he went into hiding and could not be found for deportation.
On 9 April, Swedish police said Akilov had "expressed sympathy for extremist organizations, among them IS ". On 14 April, Uzbek Foreign Minister Abdulaziz Kamilov said that Akilov had joined ISIS after moving to Sweden, and had encouraged friends and family in Uzbekistan to fight for ISIS. Uzbekistan had opened an investigation and charged Akilov with participation in extremist, separatist and fundamentalist groups, as well as with making and distributing material that threatened public security. An Uzbek security source said Akilov had tried to travel to Syria in 2015 to join ISIS but was stopped at the Turkey-Syria border and sent back to Sweden. The source added that, two months before the attack, Uzbek authorities had put Akilov on a wanted list for those suspected of religious extremism. The Foreign Minister said that intelligence on Akilov had been "passed to one of our Western partners, so that the Swedish side could be informed". The Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs said it had not received such information. ISIS has not claimed responsibility for the attack, but experts note that the group tends not to do so if its members are arrested, as in the Stockholm attack.
Akilov was registered at the same address as another person with links to financial crime. Initial suspicions of those involved sending money to ISIS could not be confirmed, though a number of people were convicted of false accounting and severe tax crimes. Early reports suggested Akilov had exchanged WhatsApp messages with a Chechen ISIS supporter just before and immediately after the attack. The authenticity of the chat was questioned, however. His former Facebook page reportedly linked to extremists and featured at least two ISIS propaganda videos. It has also been suggested that he had liked a Facebook page called "Friends of Libya and Syria", whose aim is to expose the "terrorism of the imperialistic financial capitals" of the United States, Britain, and Arab "dictatorships".
Legal proceedings
On 10 April, the public prosecutor successfully requested Akilov be remanded in custody (in Swedish, häktad) during the preliminary investigation, pending a decision on prosecution. According to his lawyer, he "has expressed the explicit wish to be defended by a lawyer who is Sunni Muslim". His request was rejected by the Stockholm District Court. A pre-trial hearing was held at Stockholm District Court on 11 April, where his lawyer said he confessed to a terrorist crime and intends to plead guilty.
Further investigation
On 8 April, five other people were detained by police. Three of them were detained after a car, the owner of which was linked to the main suspect, was stopped on Kungsholmen. In the suburb of Vårberg, police raided an apartment where the main suspect was said to have been just hours before the attack; there, they detained at least two people. As of 10 April, all of them had been released from police custody.
On 9 April, a second suspect was arrested on a lower level of suspicion of terrorist crimes through murder. The police confirmed apparent links between the second suspect and Rakhmat Akilov. On 11 April, the prosecutor revoked the arrest of the suspect. According to the prosecutor, the suspicions had weakened and there were therefore no grounds to apply for a detention order. The individual would however immediately be taken into police custody due to an earlier decision on expulsion from Sweden, as an application for legal residency in the country had been rejected.
On 10 April, police said that the investigation could take about one year to complete. On 13 April, police said that they had held about 700 interrogations and made approximately 300 seizures during the preliminary investigation.
