STOCKHOLM, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Sweden will not be cowed by "these heinous murderers," Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said on Friday after a truck attack in the country's capital killed four.
"Today we have been subjected to a terrible attack at the heart of our capital. We know that four people are dead, more are injured and a whole country are gathered in grief, anger and determination," Lofven said in a press conference.
Sweden will not let themselves be cowed by "these heinous murderers," asserted the prime minister, adding that Sweden is strong in a difficult situation.
According to Lofven, the purpose of the attack is to spread fear and sow discord. But he said "Our message will always be clear: You can not subjugate us, you can not control our lives, you can never win."
"We have also decided tonight to strengthen border controls," announced Lofven.
Death toll of Stockholm attack rises to four, after one victim died in hospital in wake of the Stockholm truck attack in the afternoon. Swedish Television quoted hospital sources at Karolinska Institutet as saying that the number of the injured from the attack had risen to 15.
