Four suspects are wanted in custody after the terrorist attack

On Thursday, four people were arrested and detained in Tyresö on suspicion of preparation for terrorist crimes and serious weapons crimes. During the operation, a police officer was captured in a photo carrying a firearm from a residence that is connected to a suspected perpetrator.

Two people have now been requested to be detained on probable grounds suspected of preparation for a terrorist crime, alternatively of participation in a terrorist organization, serious crime, and serious weapons crime.

The other two are requested to be detained on probable cause, suspected only of serious weapons offences.

The premises that the police and Säpo raided is located on the ground floor of an apartment building and is used as a mosque by an Islamic cultural association. Säpo has linked the suspects to the Islamic State in Somalia and serious organized crime.

According to Säpo, the crackdown was prompted by an investigation that was carried out “for a long time” together with the police.

The detention hearing must be held on Monday at the latest, but when and where has not yet been decided.
