      XPost: 24hoursupport.helpdesk, alt.politics.scorched-earth, uk.politics.misc       XPost: uk.legal, alt.politics.uk       From: burfordTjustice@tues.uk              Was know to authorities but again could not be stopped.              Terrorist to the local rapists can not be stopped by government       if you are a coward too afraid to protect yourself and family       than enjoy whatever evil comes your way.              Swedish officials identify Stockholm terror attack suspect as Uzbek       native, 39              The man suspected of carrying out the Stockholm terror attack is a       39-year-old Uzbekistan who was known to security services, Swedish       officials confirmed Saturday.                            Four people were killed and 15 others injured when a hijacked beer truck       plowed into a crowd of Friday afternoon shoppers in central Stockholm.              Authorities are confident the man in custody is the person who carried out the       terrorist attack.              Anders Thornberg, head of the Swedish Security Service, said "the suspect       didn't appear in our recent files but he earlier has been in our files."              Swedish police chief Dan Eliasson described the suspect as a “marginal       character” and also said police found something in the truck that "could be       a bomb or an incendiary object.”              “We are still investigating it," he said.              What police found was a homemade bomb, sources told Sky News which also       reported Saturday that according to Swedish media reports the attacker       "burned" himself while trying and failing to detonate it.              Other media reported that the device was found in the driver’s seat, but it       was not known whether it was a bomb.              Police conducted overnight raids around Stockholm but declined to say if they       were hunting any more suspects in the case. They said they have been       questioning people in connection with the case but no one else has been       detained. They said the suspect had        been on their radar before but not recently, and did not explain why       authorities apparently had not considered him a serious threat.              Swedish prosecutor Hans Ihrman said the person detained had been formally       identified as a suspect "of terrorist offenses by murder," and should face a       pre-trial custody hearing before midday Tuesday.              SUSPECT REPORTEDLY POSTED ISIS VIDEOS ON FACEBOOK              Hundreds of people gathered at the site of the crash Saturday afternoon,       building a wall of colorful flowers on the aluminum fences to keep the people       away from the broken glass and twisted metal. Some hugged police officers near       the crash site.              Visiting the attack site, Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria laid roses on the       ground Saturday and wiped away a tear.              "We must show a huge force, we must go against this," she told reporters.              The stolen beer truck traveled for more than 500 yards along a main pedestrian       street known as the Drottninggatan before it smashed into a crowd outside the       upscale Ahlens department store.               There was no immediate claim of responsibility. A Swedish newspaper reported       that the suspect posted videos of ISIS atrocities on Facebook and “liked”       a picture showing the bloody aftermath of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings.              The Aftonbladet newspaper quoted a friend of the detained man as saying the       suspect was a father of four and worked in construction.              "He never talked politics or religion," the friend said. "The only thing he       talked about was getting more jobs so he could send money home to his family."               Nine adults and one child are still in the hospital, according to health       officials. Four of those are seriously injured and the other six, including       the child, have minor injuries.              Many in Sweden were shocked by the attack, questioning whether Swedish society       -- considered democratic and egalitarian -- had failed in some way.              Although it was not clear how long the suspect had been in Sweden, the       Scandinavian country prides itself on welcoming newcomers.              Still the country's open-door immigration policy and comparatively       heterogeneous culture has led to frictions, sometimes urban unrest, especially       in areas where many long-time immigrants feel disempowered.              In 2015, Sweden received a record 163,000 asylum-seekers.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
