Man suspected of carrying out the Stockholm attack was an asylum seeker who had his residence application rejected
The suspect behind the Stockholm truck attack had been facing deportation and had extremist sympathies, Swedish police say.
The 39-year-old Uzbek man is suspected of having driven a truck into a department store in the city on Friday.
His application for residency was rejected in June last year and he was being sought by immigration officials, police said.
Meanwhile, a second suspect has been placed under formal arrest.
Police said they were investigating the second suspect for a "terrorist crime [by committing] murder".
However, Reuters news agency said the person was arrested on "a lower degree of suspicion" than the first suspect.
Police have interviewed more than 500 people over the incident, Sweden's TT news agency reports.
The first suspect had applied for permanent residency in 2014, but this was rejected, and in December 2016 he was given four weeks to leave the country, police chief Jonas Hysing told a press conference.
