Default (Possibly) Terror attack in Sweden

A hijacked truck just drove into one of Swedens most popular shopping streets, so far three are reported to have died, at least 8 injured, but according to a reporter at SR Radio, more bodies were lying on the streets. One man is arrested.

Meanwhile, there are unconfirmed rumours from one of Swedens largers news papers, Expressen, that there´s been shooting in another part of town, Hötorget.

A truck has rammed into a large crowd of people in the centre of Stockholm killing three people and injuring others in a suspected terror attack.

Witnesses say the large vehicle - which is thought to be stolen - drove into people in the shopping district of Drottninggata in the Swedish capital.

Trump was just telling the future.

I lived in Stockholm for 6 months in 2006. I was on that street many times. I hope the damage is limited

is that really that far fetched?
get out your tin foil hats folks, i could see trump being dumb enough to mention things yet to happen in speeches.
my first thought when he made those comments was that maybe he just spilled the beans

No it doesn't prove anything.

There are many possibilities.

1) the attacker got the idea from Trump
2) trump read some intelligence about a potential Sweden Attack
3) the have absolutely nothing to do with each other

He's the President of the United States, in some respects the most powerful and influential man in the world. It's not that outlandish, really.

Apparently, the perpetrator was a 39 year old Uzbek migrant, who had a history of posting about radical Islam on the internet. At least one report says he deliberately targeted children in the attack.

Part of me wishes that the names and details of the attackers in cases like this were withheld from the public. Publishing their names, even as martyrs, plays into their sick fantasies.
