Swedish leader: 'Nation in a state of shock'

Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven says "the country is in a state of shock" over the stolen beer truck attack that killed four people and wounded 15 others in downtown Stockholm.

 

Lofven said "the aim of terrorism is to undermine democracy. But such a goal will never be achieved in Sweden."

 

Police have arrested one suspect in the truck attack but would not say if they are hunting for any others. They discouraged people from going into central Stockholm on Friday night, and the national theater, which is near the crash site, canceled three plays.

 

Lofven said in a national televised address that his Social Democratic Party was still planning to hold its annual convention this weekend in Goteborg, Sweden's second-largest city.
