Infants’ strollers were sent “flying through the air,” one Swedish broadcaster reported, as the vehicle zigzagged along the pedestrianised Queen Street shopping district and embedded itself in the window of a department store…..
Police also said they had found a suspect device in the cab of the truck. London, Berlin, Ohio State, and the southern French city of Nice: all vehicular jihad attacks championed by the Islamic State.
The jihadi remains unnamed, though “he had previously posted jihadist propaganda on his Facebook page.” This is the MO after jihad attacks. Because Islam is peace, and the enemedia and the political elites do not want any link between the savagery and Islam, even if it is in the cause of Islam. Any connection between the two is designated hate speech and will be prosecuted. In this, the enemy has already won.

A suspected terrorist targeted young children as he drove a hijacked lorry into a crowded shopping street in Stockholm, witnesses claimed last night.
Infants’ buggies were sent “flying through the air”, one Swedish broadcaster reported, as the vehicle zigzagged along the pedestrianised Queen Street shopping district and embedded itself in the window of a department store.
“It swerved from side to side. It didn’t look out of control, it was trying to hit people,” a second witness, Glen Foran, an Australian tourist, told Reuters. “It hit people, it was terrible. It hit a pram with a kid in it, demolished it.”
Swedish police said on Saturday morning that they believe a 39-year-old suspect was behind the truck attack which left four dead and 15 injured, but declined to comment on reports that the suspect was a father-of-four from Uzbekistan.
The unnamed suspect reportedly confessed to the attack after being detained in Marsta, which is around 25 miles north of the Swedish capital.
Some reports suggested he had previously posted jihadist propaganda on his Facebook page and had images of people injured in the explosion at the Boston marathon in April 2013.
Police found explosives in the truck used in the attack in Stockholm, Swedish television said on Saturday citing multiple unnamed police sources.
Eight victims, including children, remain in hospital, according to Swedish media. Three of the victims died at the scene, a report said, while one died after arriving at the hospital.Sweden’s prime minister, Stefan Löfven, said everything indicated the incident was terrorism.
It happened less than two weeks after the Westminster Bridge attack and stirred up memories of the attacks in Nice and Berlin where Islamist sympathisers used lorries as weapons – a tactic first suggested in a 2010 directive from al-Qaeda commanders to their supporters.
The attack also came less than two months after Donald Trump provoked a row with Sweden after suggesting that immigration had led to rising crime in the country.
Television footage showed hundreds of shoppers and office workers fleeing the scene after the lorry careered down the pedestrian precinct, killing a dog and crushing flowerpots and litter bins as it went.
“We stood inside a shoe store and heard something and then people started to scream. I looked out of the store and saw a big truck,” Jan Granroth told Aftonbladet.
Another witness said: “When I came out, I saw a lorry standing there, with smoke coming from it, and there were loads of bits of cars and broken flowerpots along the street.”
Annevi Petersson, a photographer, ran out from a store when she heard screaming coming from outside. “I saw a woman had a partly severed foot. People screaming in panic, others ran. I saw people laying bloody on the street and got out of there.”
Stockholm was put on lockdown, with the metro and mainline trains closed, as police fanned out across the city in pursuit of the suspect. Stockholm city council announced that it was opening public buildings for those stranded by the train and bus closures.The attack, which used a truck hijacked from a Swedish brewing company as it made its deliveries yesterday morning, drew condemnation and condolences from around the world.

Guess the “suspect” is in urgent need of psychiatric care, dontcha think, Gustapho Adolphus?
Say, how’s the whole multicultural thing working, Sweden? Not asking about your migrants- I realize it’s working fine for them, what with living on the welfare state and tossing blond-haired types’ baby carriages flying through the air. I was wondering more about Hans and Elsa.

I’m not a bit surprised. Most of them don’t even like their own children.

My late wife once became very upset at a muslim co-worker because he was trying to justify using young children to clear a mine field. His name was Mohammad, go figure.

Who’s to say the children of moderate Muslim parents cannot become radicalized after reading the Koran? What we need is to outlaw the Koran and all of its Hadiths…If Muslims don’t like it then go back to your hellhole homeland…

Now this was back in the early 80’s and things might have changed from then, but his justification was that if they were killed they would go to be with allah, if they lived then the mine field was clear and they would grow up to be “soldiers of allah” or something like that. And yes, a TOTAL muslim ban should be called for. Muslims don’t belong in a civilized Western society.

Wow. That’s totally sick. I’m unsurprised at your wife’s reaction. They use their kids as shields in Iraq, Syria, and Palestine. Honour kill them, marry them off or molest them.

Now we will hear some sublime psychoanalysis about his act–he was abused as child and deserves sympathy.Many magnificent women will cry on t.v. over his agony.Many more will demonstrate against demonizing him. It’s a wonderful world.

I tell you Simba, there is no question that Leftardism is a mental disorder. Apparently some Swedish media is saying that the root cause was poverty in Uzbekistan. You couldn’t make it up!

Thanks,JwaK.It’s surprising no one advises them psychiatric evaluation.
Poverty is virtually everywhere in the Central,and South East Asia,Africa,South America and I suppose to some extent Eastern Europe–Esp. Muslim Albania.Should they rush to Sweden and other beautiful western European nations and start killing people?

This is absolutely true. A sizeable percentage of non Muslims in poverty, over the globe, do not resort to violence or criminality. They get on with their lives, for the sake of their families. I’ve met former British Gurkha soldiers, who, after finishing have lived in poverty – yet don’t resort to criminality. They become waiters in Nepalese restaurants, or cleaners.

That would be the best place for muslim enablers, see if they can do something with muslims in the filth of their natural habitat.

There is nothing like a good peepee whacking with a 10″ ridgid pipe wrench to point out the error of a muslim’s ways.

There are no useful members of humanity in sweden of any race or culture, the entire population is an insult and liability to humanity. It deserves the obscure wretched fate it has sentenced itself to.

Another fine example of a muslim contributing islamic values to the cultural and social development of sweden. sweden holds it magnificent record in tolerance of ethnic diversity, as illustrated by this beautiful verse from the qur’an “Tabari 9:69 “Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us” The words of Muhammad, prophet of Islam”. We must meditate on the beauty of islam.

If the US can go into Syria to attack muslims who gas children, then why not go into Sweden to attack muslims who attempt to kill children, and do kill children? It’s logical…
