The man suspected of committing a truck attack in Stockholm last week that killed four people and injured another 15 has confessed to the crime, according to his lawyer. Rakhmat Akilov, 39, who is from Uzbekistan, was driving a hijacked beer truck when he ran down pedestrians on Friday, then crashed into a department store. His lawyer told a court Tuesday that he will cooperate with officials. “His position is that he admits to a terrorist crime and accepts therefore that he will be detained,” said attorney Johan Eriksson. Akilov was arrested just a few hours after he allegedly perpetrated the attack.
