“There is nothing that tells us that we have the wrong person,” Dan Eliason said, but added he did not know whether others were involved in the attack. “We cannot exclude this.”
One more suspect has been arrested according to Swedish police who say the man had a connection with the first suspect arrested in connection with the terror attack.
