David Crouch “Stockholm truck attack suspect 'known to security services'” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/08/stockholm-attack-suspect-arrested-for-terrorist-after-truck-deaths
現地時間４月７日に瑞典ストックホルム中心部で、盗難された麦酒運搬トラックが暴走し、４名が轢き殺され、15名が負傷した事件が起こってからほぼ１時間後に、瑞典警察当局はそのトラックを運転していた男を逮捕した。挙動不審だったのが致命的だったらしい。彼は39歳で、ウズベキスタン出身だという。また、もう１人共犯者が拘束されたという報道もあるが、警察当局はこれについては沈黙を保っている。
Fredrik Reinfeldt, the former prime minister of Sweden, said on Saturday that a liberal, open society must accept that its very freedoms make such attacks possible. “The feeling is that the price of the open society is that it’s very tough for us to shelter against these kinds of initiatives taken by a single person,” he told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4.Swedes would not reject the principle of free movement across borders, nor accept extreme levels of surveillance to stop future attacks, although there may be a debate over whether greater use of CCTV is warranted, Reinfelt said. “We are preparing, we understand the risks; but we are not willing to close down the openness that is the flare of freedom that we love so much.”
