Praising the police, emergency services and volunteers who helped out during and after the attack, he said, "I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
A minute of silence was also observed in several places around the country.After Friday's truck attack, nine people are still receiving treatment at hospitals in the Stockholm area. Two of them are in critical condition. A child who was treated Sunday at a hospital has been released, Radio Sweden reported, citing information from the Stockholm County Council.
