STOCKHOLM - Swedish authorities were investigating on Thursday whether an knife attack by an Afghan man who stabbed seven men and left three of them in critical but stable condition had any links to terrorism.
The suspect, who was not named under Swedish policy rules, now faces several counts of attempted murder.
âThere also was initial information in the investigation that led police to believe that they should look at terrorism as being the motive,â Home Affairs Minister Mikael Damberg told reporters. âIt is not strange that when there are such a type of atrocity in Sweden that a connection to terrorism is also being investigated.â
