    Police have raided a flat where the terror suspect is thought to have spent the hours before carrying out the attack in Stockholm city centre.

    Forensic teams scoured the second floor apartment in a southwest suburb of the city after arresting three people.

    Witnesses said heavily armed police stormed into the flat on a housing estate in Varberg late on Saturday afternoon.

    Exclusive video obtained by Mail Online showed police surrounding three people in the courtyard of the block of flats.

    One man carried a yellow suitcase. The other person was believed to be a woman and was dressed in yellow and was led away to a police car.

    Two soldiers later sprinted across the open area towards the flat and sniffer dogs could be seen in the area.

    The arrests came after three other people were hauled out of a car and arrested as part of a fast moving investigation into the attack which claimed the lives of four people.

    It emerged that the suspect –a 39 years old from Uzbekistan – was injured during the attack when he mowed down pedestrians before crashing into a department store.

    Local media reported that police were able to follow a blood trail from the scene of destruction to the city’s Central Railway station as the suspect made his escape. He was arrested hours later.

    An unexploded bomb was found in the cab of the hijacked lorry.

    Police have released few details about the suspect other than to confirm he is 39 years old and was known to security services.

    Following the arrests in the suburb of Varberg forensic teams were seen leaving the flat with bags of evidence.

    At least four people spent more than an hour in the flat looking for evidence with torches.

    Four uniformed police officers guarded the entrance to the block of flats which is home to a large immigrant population.

    A female friend of the suspect told the Aftonbladet newspaper she did not see any sign of fanaticism.

    She said she had met the 39 year old when he was working in the construction industry in Stockholm.

    The woman, who has not been named, said: ‘He was a very intellectual and well-read guy. He tried to speak Swedish but it was mostly English when we talked.

    ‘I never saw any sign that he would be fanatical in any way without the empathetic and aware.”

    The woman said the man would often talk about his family who were living back in Uzbekistan.

    ‘He came here to work so he could send money home to the family. That was why he was here.’

    Police traced the suspect to the apartment after triangulating his laptop to the wifi network there, Aftonbladet reported.

    Swedish police defend actions after church migrants raid

    Police in Sweden have defended their actions after a raid on a church activity attended by undocumented migrants and refugees, saying that there is no such thing as protected zones.

    Five out of six of the families attending the church-organised activity were taken into custody following the raid, reports news agency TT.

    “There are no protected zones according to Swedish law,” police spokesperson Ewa-Gun Westford told TT.

    On Friday, a family camp for refugees organised by the Swedish church was held at a youth hostel in northern Skåne. The activity was interrupted by a police patrol of around 30 officers, who arrived without warning the church.

    One of the families taken in by police – including children aged four and 11 – remains in police custody, according to the Sydsvenskan newspaper.

    The Church has criticised the police action, saying that warning should have been given and that the church should be respected as a place of safety.

    But Westford dismissed the criticism, pointing out that a number of the people identified during the raid are listed for deportation.

    “There are no protected zones according to Swedish law. Apart from embassies, there are no protected zones,” she said.

    “Our operation did not take place at a church but at another place,” she added.

    The church has expressed its concern that its ability to help those in need will be diminished if it is not seen as a sanctuary, according to the report.

    They need to go into OUR Churches and haul off these illegal aliens. Shut these Churches down...YOU are not above the Law.
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL
