Finnish police said they have arrested four other Moroccan men over their possible links to the man suspected of killing two and wounding eight in Friday's knife attacks.

The police added in a news conference that the attacker, who had arrived in Finland last year, seemed to have chosen women as his targets.

Finnish broadcaster MTV, citing unnamed source, said the man had been declined asylum. The police declined to comment but said he had been "part of the asylum process."
