Attack: Dan Eliason and Saturday

attack: Swedes flew flags at half-staff Saturday to commemorate the four people killed and 15 wounded when the hijacked truck plowed into a crowd of shoppers Friday afternoon in Stockholm, according to Hamilton Spectator. Prime Minister Stefan Lofven declared Monday a national day of mourning, with a minute of silence at noon. The prime minister urged citizens to get through this and strolled through the streets of the capital to chat with residents. Sweden's police chief said authorities were confident they had detained the man who carried out the attack. We cannot exclude this. There is nothing that tells us that we have the wrong person, Dan Eliason told a news conference Saturday, but added he did not know whether others were involved in the attack.
