@stigatle SVT has now published information that the arrested person is from Uzbekistan originally, but no other information has been released (neither age nor motivation).

@stigatle No information has been released regarding interrogation with the single person who has been apprehended (who by all accounts does not seem to be the person actually driving the truck).

@stigatle Sorry, age was published as well (39 years, so that part matches). But still no source material for identity and even less so for the supposed IS connection. I'll have a look at Flashback.
Of course there's a likelihood that it's the case, but nothing should be taken for granted. In Norway that's what "everyone" thought until it suddenly happened to be a white, blonde Norwegian nationalist. ;)

@stigatle SVT explicitly states that neither nationality or age is confirmed, though.
