By Jake Wallis Simons, Associate Global Editor In Stockholm For Mailonline, 9 April 2017:
The shameless Stockholm jihadi killer accused of killing four people and injuring 15 others by driving a truck into the city’s largest shopping centre has boasted to police interrogators that he is ‘pleased with what he has done’.
When questioned by officers, 39-year-old Uzbek fanatic Rakhmat Akilov freely admitted his crime, smirking that he had ‘achieved what he set out to do’, a source inside the police told the Expressen newspaper.
He also admitted to being part of ISIS and said that the order to launch Friday’s atrocity came directly from the group’s high command in Syria.
Akilov was detained at around 9pm local time (1900 GMT) on Friday in a northern Stockholm suburb hours after police say he hijacked a truck and ploughed through a pedestrian shopping street in central Stockholm.

Under interrogation at Kronoberg prison, the 39-year-old fanatic told police that he ‘drove towards the infidels’ in retaliation for Western military action against ISIS, demanding that ‘the bombings in Syria must stop’.
The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that the killer was so keen to tell officers that he was linked to ISIS that he made the claim even as he was being wrestled to the ground in Märsta on Friday evening.
‘I bombarded Sweden because you bomb my country,’ he reportedly said.
Police have confirmed that Akilov had an explosive device beside him in the cab of the hijacked lorry as he mowed down pedestrians on Drottninggatan high street in central Stockholm last week.

Police have confirmed that Akilov had an explosive device beside him in the cab of the hijacked lorry as he mowed down pedestrians on Drottninggatan high street in central Stockholm last week.
The home-made device, which did not explode, was comprised of gas bottles, chemicals, nails and bolts designed to inflict maximum casualties, Aftonbladet reported.
The British man killed in the Stockholm terror attack on Friday has been named as Chrispin Bevington, a father of two young boys.
The 41-year-old had been living and working in Stockholm as an executive for music streaming site Spotify.
The others dead are a female Belgian tourist, 31, and two Swedes including an 11-year-old girl who was walking home from school. Police said all have been identified and their relatives informed.
