Very early, many of the factoids may change. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4390436/Truck-rammed-group-pedestrians-Stockholm.html)

According to a piece on Fox & Friends just now, the 24-year-old suspect (who has been captured) has posted videos, on Facebook, praising Islamic State.  I'd say that it's confirmed, now. :whistling:

The dude rammed a truck into a random crowd, then got out and started stabbing people. A very recognizable MO.

This WashPost article (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/swedish-police-say-stockholm-truck-attack-suspect-was-failed-uzbek-asylum-seeker/2017/04/09/65b5e7d6-1d1b-11e7-a0a7-8b2a45e3dc84_story.html?utm_term=.4bd3a385f8dd) is fairly informative, though one has to read past the first paragraphs with the WashPost's this-is-what-refugees-do-when-they-are-rejected message. The perp is an Uzbek. Guess what religion is followed by some 96% of Uzbeks? That's right ... Amish! The Swedish government had rejected this character's application for asylum for ties to terror-sympathizers. He was supposed to be deported last year, but had been in hiding for some 9 months.

They may have a decent one, but the Swedish government needs to do a whole lotta 'splainin' to Sweden's citizens!

I have heard reports (unconfirmed, AFAIK) that he also had a bomb and was attempting to detonate it after the crash into the shopping center.
