Finnish police arrest 2 more suspects in knife rampage
Police in Finland on Wednesday arrested two more suspects in connection with last week's stabbings that killed two people and wounded eight in a knife rampage in the southwestern city of Turku, authorities said.
Police said they detained the two men on suspicion "of preparation of an offense to be committed with terrorist intent," bringing the total number of arrests to six.
On Tuesday, a regional court ordered that the main suspect—an 18-year-old Moroccan asylum-seeker—be detained on suspicion of terrorist crimes, including two counts of murder and eight counts of attempted murder.
Three alleged accomplices—all believed to be Moroccan—were ordered to be held on suspicion they helped plan the attack.
