The Stockholm truck attack suspect has confessed to a "terrorist crime", the BBC reported.
The admission came at a custody hearing in the Swedish capital, according to his lawyer.
Rakhmat Akilov, 39 from Uzbekistan, admitted responsibility for the attack in court.
Four people were killed when a lorry was driven into a department store on Friday. A number of people were also injured, including two who are in a critical condition.
"His position is that he admits to a terrorist crime and accepts therefore that he will be detained," said lawyer Johan Eriksson.
Swedish police said Akilov was known to security services.
