A lorry drove into a department store in the centre of Stockholm.  According to the police, there are at least two dead in this awful terrorist attack.

Police evacuated the city centre and the main central station. They did not arrest anyone yet, but they are working on it.

The Swedish Prime Minister said that the government is doing everything in its power to find out what happened. He also recommended that the public be careful and listen to police broadcasts.

The attack came after other terrorist incidents in France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Difficult words: public (the people), broadcasts (give information on TV or radio).
