Timlin made the breakthrough in the 55th minute with a well-struck shot from the edge of the box.
Keeper Freddy Hall got a hand to the ball but could not prevent Timlin getting his 12th goal of the season.
Seven minutes later McNamee raced past central defender Patrick Kanyuka and coolly slotted in City's second goal.
Patrick McEleney went close to making it 3-0 when he cut inside and fired a right-foot shot which struck the crossbar.
McEleney was carried off on a stretcher after being injured late in the game.

The actress died in January aged 60 after portraying Deirdre Barlow in the soap for 42 years.
The dressing room is now being used by Anne's good friend Beverley Callard, who plays Liz McDonald.
Brooke Vincent, who stars as Sophie Webster, called it a "fitting tribute" to leave Anne's name on the door.
"She was massive to us and to everybody else," Brooke told Newsbeat at Tuesday's TRIC (Television and Radio Industries Club) Awards.
"We were lucky enough to know Annie. A lot of people had the pleasure of watching her be Deirdre.
"Everyday, without fail, if you saw her, she'd say, 'I love you.' That was it, that's all she used to say to people - 'I love you, I love you.'
"She was always the one who kind of lit up a room."
Colson Smith, who plays Craig Tinker, described Anne Kirkbride as the "grandma".
"At Corrie, we act as a big family - we work as a family, we play as a family, and we are a family.
"[Anne] looked after the new people that came in, she'd give you hugs, she'd tell you stories, and she really made the atmosphere good.
"We're all happy to have the pleasure of knowing Anne."

Mr Ó Muilleoir is due to appear before Stormont's finance committee, where he will answer questions about Nama coaching allegations.
These saw the committee's former chairman Daithí McKay resign as an MLA.
It was revealed Mr McKay secretly advised Jamie Bryson ahead of his appearance at the Nama inquiry.
Before he became a minister, Mr Ó Muilleoir was one of the Sinn Féin members on the Stormont finance committee when it held a high-profile inquiry into the controversial sale of Nama's NI property portfolio.
In August, Mr Ó Muilleoir denied knowing anything about a back channel of communication between Mr McKay, and the inquiry's key witness, Mr Bryson.
BBC News NI's Political Editor Mark Devenport
Detectives from the PSNI's serious crime branch are investigating the coaching allegations to see if any criminal offences were committed.
Whilst the police investigation is under way, the Assembly's Standards Commissioner Douglas Bain has suspended his own inquiry into complaints about Mr McKay.
However, the current finance committee is expected to press ahead with its scheduled evidence session on Wednesday afternoon.
He has also stood firm in his post amid calls for him to step down.
Nama is the Republic of Ireland's "bad bank" which was established in 2009 in the aftermath of the Irish banking and property crisis.
It took effective control of a huge property loan book in Northern Ireland and formed a committee to advise on that part of its portfolio.
Nama sold its entire Northern Ireland portfolio to Cerberus, a US investment fund, in 2014. | Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir will be questioned over what he knew about secret contacts between a former Sinn Féin MLA and a loyalist blogger. | 37557855 |
The mob demanded the Christian girl's arrest and threatened to burn down Christian homes outside the capital Islamabad, local media say.
Officials said the girl could not properly answer police questions.
Her parents have been taken into protective custody following threats and other Christian families have fled.
It is thought that the girl has Down's syndrome.
Paul Bhatti, Pakistan's minister for National Harmony, told the BBC that the girl was known to have a mental disorder and that it seemed "unlikely she purposefully desecrated the Koran".
"From the reports I have seen, she was found carrying a waste bag which also had pages of the Koran," he said.
"This infuriated some local people and a large crowd gathered to demand action against her. The police were initially reluctant to arrest her, but they came under a lot of pressure from a very large crowd, who were threatening to burn down Christian homes."
He said more than 600 people have fled from the Christian neighbourhood.
Rights activists have urged Pakistan to reform its controversial blasphemy laws, under which a person can be jailed for life for desecrating the Koran.
Many of those accused of blasphemy have been killed by violent mobs, while politicians who advocate a change in legislation have also been targeted.
Last year, Shahbaz Bhatti, the minister for minority affairs, was killed after calling for the repeal of the blasphemy law.
His death came just two months after the murder of Punjab Governor Salman Taseer, who also spoke out about the issue. | Pakistani police have arrested a mentally disabled 11-year-old girl after a mob accused her of desecrating pages of the Koran. | 19311098 |
A document posted to Facebook showed his tax bill last year came to £23,080 on an income of £121,738.
Leaders of the Welsh Lib Dems, Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru followed the prime minister earlier this week in releasing details on what they pay in tax.
But UKIP Wales leader Nathan Gill said he would not "jump on the bandwagon".
Information about David Cameron's 2009-15 tax and earnings was released on Sunday in an attempt to defuse a row about his investment in his late father's offshore fund.
The row was sparked by a leak of documents from Panamanian firm Mossack Fonseca.
Mr Davies, who made the disclosure on Wednesday, said: "Hopefully we can all now focus on the assembly campaign and the issues affecting people the length and breadth of Wales."
The document, titled a "personal tax computation", shows Mr Davies' income for 2014/15 came to £121,738, including £49,495 understood to relate to his farming income.
He had income tax due of £41,949, but after deductions of £20,639.60 his total liability came to £23,080.
Earlier this week it was disclosed that Labour leader Carwyn Jones had to pay £41,147 on a total income of £119,184.
Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood also took to Facebook to show she was charged £9,045 on a total income of £48,547.

The incident involving Curtis Orr, from Woodland Avenue, Lisburn, County Antrim, is alleged to have happened at Woodland Avenue shortly after 02:00 GMT on Thursday.
Craigavon Magistrates' Court heard police used a Taser after attending.
A 19-year-old woman was taken to hospital for treatment to wounds following the incident.
Police said two men and a woman were also treated for injuries.
A police officer, who said he could connect the accused to the charge, opposed bail.

Both players have joined the Premier League newcomers for undisclosed fees and on three-year deals, which have an option for a further year.
Gudmundsson was part of the Iceland side that knocked England out of Euro 2016 with a shock 2-1 victory.
The winger provided 11 assists last season but was part of a Charlton side relegated from the Championship.
"The atmosphere around the club is fantastic," he said. "Playing against the team last season I saw just how good the club was."
The duo are Burnley manager Sean Dyche's first summer signings.
He said he had been impressed by the "quality" Gudmundsson showed during a "tough time" for Charlton.
"It helps to see a player in the European Championship with that kind of company and he did well there," he added. "It was one we all agreed would be a good acquisition for the club."
Dyche said Pope was a "young keeper who we think has got a lot of promise".
He added: "He's a good keeper now but we think he can mature and get even better keeper during his time here."

Reproductions of city landmarks including Clifton Suspension Bridge, St Mary Redcliffe and SS Great Britain were intricately crocheted and knitted by more than 250 volunteers.
It will be the first time "Briswool" has been displayed as a finished work.
The project is estimated to have taken hundreds of balls of wool and thousands of hours to complete.

volunteers aged from seven to over 80
It measures 6mx4.5m

It took three years to make
It is 80% crochet and 20% knitting
Karen MacDonald, from the M Shed Museum, said: "Briswool has been a joy to help set up - it's a paintbox of colour and, as our exhibition designer said, a celebration of human creativity.
"It's been fun seeing it all coming together and the tiny details adding the finishing touches, like beaded bats flying over the woolly representation of Arnos Vale. Very rewarding after the weeks of loading bags and boxes in and out of freezers."
The work is an artistic representation of the city rather than an accurate replica and grew out of an idea inspired by one of the volunteers who suggested to artist Vicky Harrison that people knit "the iconic buildings of Bristol".
Ms Harrison said: "Volunteers have chosen to stitch locations or objects that mean something to them personally or were a challenge to make.

Poland halted talks with French company Airbus to buy 50 of its Caracal helicopters for around 3.14bn euros (£2.8bn / $3.51bn) on Tuesday.
Warsaw said the contract was not in the country's economic and security interests.
Mr Hollande's office said Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault would travel to Poland instead.
The switch over the meeting scheduled for next Thursday is being seen as a display of French anger.
A visit by the French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian scheduled for next Monday has also been cancelled, AFP reported.
Poland's development ministry announced that differences between the two sides had sunk the talks over the defence deal.
"Poland considers the talks for a deal to be over," it added. The proposed package included an agreement that France would invest in Poland to offset the cost of the helicopters.

The agreement to buy 50 Airbus utility helicopters was made in April 2015 by Poland's previous government, with the aim of modernising its military and improving coordination with its Nato allies.
However, since the election of a right-wing government in Warsaw in October 2015, relations with other EU governments have become strained.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls took a swipe at Warsaw on Friday, saying: "Poland is a big country, but questions need to be asked to Poland, notably its defence industry, after the choices that have just been made.

Ilfracombe coastguard rescue team was called by a member of the public on Sunday afternoon who had spotted two boys on a cliff.
It is believed they had come out of a rubber dingy.
One boy was able to climb up the rock to safety, but the other needed to be winched by helicopter.
They were "a bit wet" but uninjured, according to a coastguard spokesman.
He said the two boys had been on holiday in the area at the time of the incident.

Deleriyes Joe Cramer, who was known as Joey Cramer when he starred in the 1986 movie, was arrested in Gibsons, British Columbia.
The robbery took place in nearby Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police issued a statement saying the 42-year-old had been charged with four offences relating to the bank robbery.
Cramer, who lives in Gibsons, was in a number of films as a child actor, including Runaway with Tom Selleck and The Clan of Cave Bear with Darryl Hannah.
His biggest film was the box office hit Flight of the Navigator, in which Cramer played the lead character David Freeman.
He was nominated for the Young Artist Award by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films in 1987.
His last credited role was on the 1987 TV movie Stone Fox.
Police say a disguise was used in the bank robbery. They have requested anyone with additional information, including information about a man purchasing or discarding a disguise involving a shoulder-length wig, bandana, and dark jacket with a reddish design on the back, to contact Sunshine Coast police.
Cramer is facing charges including robbery, disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence, failure to stop for a police officer and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
He is next due in court on 10 May at North Vancouver Provincial Court. | The former child star of '80s film Flight of the Navigator has been charged with bank robbery in Canada. | 36215388 |

Eloise Parry, 21, from Shrewsbury, took tablets which police believe included dinitrophenol, known as DNP.
The warning was initially prompted by France after a Frenchman was left critically ill having taken weight loss pills containing the toxic pesticide.
Interpol said the products were being made in "clandestine laboratories".
Miss Parry, who was a student at Glyndwr University, died at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital on 12 April and her mother, Fiona, has warned others to avoid the chemical.
Interpol has raised the alarm with forces in 190 countries after French authorities raised concerns about DNP last October and following an investigation by the World Anti-Doping Agency earlier this year.
In the Orange Notice, a public safety warning that Interpol issues, DNP was described as an "imminent threat" to consumers.
Online distributors have tried to mask its supply from customs and police officers by labelling it as the yellow spice turmeric because it looks similar, Interpol said.
A statement from the Interpol said: "Although usually sold in yellow powder or capsule form, DNP is also available as a cream.
"In addition to being produced in clandestine laboratories with no hygiene regulations, without specialist manufacturing knowledge the producers also expose consumers to an increased chance of overdose." | A global alert has been issued by Interpol over the "serious and imminent threat" of online diet pills which claimed the life of a Shropshire woman. | 32587330 |
The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway said the project would create two jobs and safeguard more than 150.
The new station will increase railway visitor numbers by around 5,000 a year and building work could start at the end of the year.

"The railway held two public consultation town earlier this year and has incorporated ideas and suggestions made by local residents and visitors into the proposed design, which will include retail, catering and display areas covering two floors," said Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway in a statement.
"The £1.2m project to provide a new station at Caernarfon will create new jobs and safeguard existing ones in addition to generating extra traffic and revenue for both the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway and the local economy.

They had asked the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco to reconsider its April ruling upholding the $65m (£40m) settlement from 2008.
The twins say that Facebook concealed information and they should have received more Facebook shares.
Mr Zuckerberg denies their claims that he stole the idea of Facebook.
In April, a three-judge panel decided not to scrap the original settlement and not to allow a fresh case to begin.
In their latest move, the Winklevoss twins had asked for a full panel of 11 judges to review that decision.
No fresh reasons were given for declining the appeal.
Their lawyer Jerome Falk said in a statement that they would appeal to the Supreme Court.
The 2008 settlement gave them $20m in cash and $45m of stock valued at $36 a share.
But the shares are not yet traded anywhere, and the brothers say that they were duped because internally the shares were only valued at $9.

The officers were guarding road workers in the Sukma district, which has seen a long-running insurgency by Maoists.
The details of the attack are sketchy, but one report said it was carried out by 300 rebels.
The Maoists say they are fighting for communist rule and greater rights for tribal people and the rural poor.
Their insurgency began in the eastern state of West Bengal in the late 1960s, later spreading to more than one-third of India's 600-plus administrative districts.

The attack on the personnel of the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) began at 13:00 local time on Monday and the clashes went on for a few hours, reports said.
It is not yet known if the Maoists suffered any casualties.
India's Home Minister Rajnath Singh later tweeted about the attack:
Indian media reports say helicopters have been used to transport the wounded to the nearest medical facility.
Extra security personnel have been now been sent to the location to look for the attackers.

Christine Hewitt, who was assistant to Janice Atkinson MEP, pleaded guilty at Canterbury Crown Court to fraud.
It followed an investigation by the Sun, which published a secret recording of Ms Hewitt in a Margate restaurant.
Hewitt, 55, of West Malling, was told to carry out 40 hours unpaid work.
Her four-month jail term was suspended for a year and she was ordered to pay £500 costs.
Following the incident, Kent Police carried out an investigation but did not accuse Ms Atkinson of any wrong-doing.

Ms Atkinson went on to become an independent MEP.
After Hewitt was sentenced, Ms Atkinson said: "Kent Police conducted a thorough 10-month investigation into the matter and no charges were brought against any other people, only Mrs Hewitt.

Data released under the Freedom of Information Act shows in some places, more than 95% of houses waiting to be built received planning permission more than two years ago.
Peterborough MP Stewart Jackson said hesitant developers should be taxed.
But developers say it can take a long time to start building projects.
In Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, the latest figures show there are 7,402 houses with planning permission, on which work has not started.
Of these, 7,290 were granted permission more than two years ago.
In Harlow, Essex, 3,300 of 3,674 homes yet to be built have had planning permission for more than two years.
Mr Jackson, a Conservative, said developers should be penalised after a year, based on the capital value of the land, if they do not act on planning permission.
"It isn't satisfactory that there is some land banking, where big companies are sitting on land that should be developed for people to have homes," he said.
But John Stewart, from the Home Builders Federation, said there was no incentive for house builders to "sit on land" and that conditions imposed by planning authorities could often lead to a delay.
"Some of those planning conditions will need to be discharged before a developer is legally able to start on site," he said.
"If a house builder has got a planning permission that is actually implementable, and legally they can start on site, they will be on site very quickly." | Thousands of homes in the East of England are yet to be built, despite developers having had planning permission for several years. | 26618237 |

Ernest Goult, 72, was found guilty of a racially aggravated public order offence following Middlesbrough and Blackburn Rovers' game in 2014.
However, he claimed the gesture meant "the pits" or "smelly".
An appeal panel at Teesside Crown Court said they could not be sure the gesture was racist.
Blackburn players Lee Williamson and Markus Olsson and Aston Villa striker Rudy Gestede, who was at the club at the time, gave evidence against Mr Goult.
Mr Williamson said he noticed the "pathetic" 72-year-old as he was walking over to the Blackburn supporters, who were seated in the away section of the Teesside club's Riverside Stadium, while Mr Gestede said he was "shocked" to see the gesture.
Mr Olsson said the French forward had got angry as a result.
Representing Mr Goult, Giles Grant said the one-armed gesture was derogatory but meant "the pits" or "smelly", adding that a monkey gesture would usually be accompanied by facial expressions and an "oo-oo" noise.
Giving evidence, Mr Goult denied he held "negative or poor views" of the footballers because their race.
The retired steel worker said the gesture was used in that industry to express displeasure, often in a noisy environment, a claim which was confirmed by another former worker.
Judge Simon Bourne-Arton, who heard the appeal alongside two magistrates, said the players genuinely felt it was a racist gesture, but the appeal panel could not be sure.
He added that while it had been proved that Mr Goult caused alarm and distress, he had not made the typical "utterly objectionable" monkey gesture, where both arms were used along with the "whooping sound of a baboon". | A football fan who was found guilty of making monkey gestures at three black players during a Championship match has won an appeal against his conviction. | 34989006 |

Alan Hamilton, 65, originally from Northamptonshire, was at the KG5 sports ground on 9 July when he collapsed.
Phone records show he had dialled 999 and telecoms records suggest the call was put through, but no ambulance was sent. His body was found the next day.
St John Ambulance and Rescue, the island's only ambulance service, has launched an internal investigation.
It is understood Sure, the telecom company that currently handles calls to emergency services, put the call through to St John.
The ambulance service said it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage in the process.
Mr Hamilton was brought to the island by the Guernsey Cricket Association to work as a groundsman. He was heavily involved with cricket in the island.

The criminals have been targeting wealthy women in shopping centres, Sao Paulo's anti-kidnap police unit says.
The victims are followed to their cars, where they are robbed and held captive at gunpoint while the gang uses their credit cards to make luxury purchases.
Police said the "blonde gang" consisted of young, educated, middle-class women.
Sao Paulo civil police anti-kidnap division chief Joaquim Dias Alves told BBC Mundo: "One or two speak more than one language, and some have been educated overseas.
"They are really pretty girls, well-dressed and made up," he said.
The gang tend to target women who look similar to them, so they can assume the victim's identity while they use their credit cards.
They are thought to have been operating for three years, and to have robbed at least 50 people.
Police say they have begun to break up the gang, with three suspects arrested, including one man.

All flights to and from the resort were stopped on Wednesday because the British government wanted to make sure the airport was as safe as possible.
The decision was made after a Russian plane crashed near there last weekend.
There are currently 20,000 British tourists on holiday in Sharm el-Sheikh.
Only eight out of 29 planned flights to bring British holiday makers back will operate.
Two planes have already taken off from the Egyptian resort, but it is unclear which others will be allowed to.
Egypt said this was because there was too much check-in luggage left at the airport.
British passengers are allowed to take only hand baggage on board with a plan in place to take suitcases and bigger bags on separate planes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has now ordered that all Russian passenger flights to Egypt be stopped until the cause of the crash is established.

At least two people were injured, including the policeman, in the blast at an anti-terrorism court in the city of Karachi.
Some reports say the device was a grenade taken from the defendant.
Police later said it was just a detonator with an explosive element that should have been defused.
The incident took place on Monday at the trial of a man accused of extortion and of carrying out a number of grenade attacks.
Police said several devices had been found when they arrested him.
The device presented in court was at the request of the defence. Judge Shakil Haider then asked how it worked.
A part of the device was pulled from it and it exploded, throwing the judge off his chair.
Senior police official Jamil Ahmed said that explosives around the detonator had been made harmless, but added: "We are investigating as to how the detonator was brought to the court without being defused." | A device being presented as evidence at a trial in a Pakistani court blew up after the judge asked a police officer to show how it worked. | 36028224 |
Gurpreet Sandhu hit Horace Downes as he crossed Brassington Avenue, Sutton Coldfield, to go to place a bet.
Mr Downes died of an infection four months after the November crash.
Sandhu, 27, of Church Lane, Handsworth, who previously admitted dangerous driving, was jailed for three years and banned from driving for seven.
He was driving about 56mph in a 30mph zone when he hit Mr Downes, West Midlands Police said.
Mr Downes, known as John to family and friends, suffered a life threatening head injury but was moved from hospital to a rehabilitation centre just over a month after the collision.
But he died as a result of infection after being readmitted to hospital in February this year. A post-mortem examination did not establish a link to the collision.
His family have since allowed footage of the crash to be released in the hope it will deter others from driving at speed.
Mr Downes's daughter Janet Turner described her father as "the heart and soul of the family".
Reading a statement at Sandhu's sentencing at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday, she said: "It is not possible to put into words the pain and distress felt by the family."
Sgt Adam Green, from West Midlands Police, said Mr Downes's family had endured suffering because of "the selfish actions of one individual".
"Gurpreet Sandhu was late for work on the day of the collision. He drove at twice the speed limit in heavy rain, in an area where the likelihood of pedestrians being present was high.
"In allowing the graphic CCTV footage to be released, John's family hope that people will realise the impact of speeding and it will prevent another family suffering the same consequences." | A man who was late for work and driving at almost twice the speed limit has been jailed after he knocked down a 91-year-old man, who later died. | 34187490 |
Several of the sport's top players, including world number one Jason Day and Rory McIlroy have withdrawn because of concerns over the Zika virus.
McIlroy also said last week the Games were not the "pinnacle" for golfers.
But Englishman Willett told BBC Sport: "For the sake of one week out of every four years, I feel it's a risk I'm potentially willing to take."
The Zika virus, which is mosquito-borne, has been linked to defects in newborn babies and has led to calls that the Games should be moved from Rio.
Female tennis player Simona Halep has said she is still undecided about whether she will compete at the Olympics.
"It's not easy to take the decision," the Romanian, who is through to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon, told BBC World Service.
"I am very worried about the Zika virus. I am planning to go, but I am 50-50. It's very dangerous and it's scary for me.
"I spoke already with my doctors at home and I will do more research. My health is more important than tennis."

The Alcohol Bill proposes restrictions on advertising and sponsorship around schools, nurseries and playgrounds.
Archie MacIver, of the Law Society of Scotland, was speaking at Holyrood's Health and Sport Committee.
He said MSPs could "draw a line through" earlier written evidence.
In its submission to the committee, the Law Society had warned that the bill risked affecting unknowing members of the public.
It had said that under the proposed law, a parent or guardian wearing a football or rugby jersey with an advertisement promoting alcohol when collecting children from school would be committing an offence.
The proposed ban was brought to the Scottish Parliament by Labour MSP Dr Richard Simpson as a Member's Bill.
The proposals would introduce a ban on "fixed advertising" such as billboards or window displays within 200 metres of schools, nurseries and children's play areas.
It would also end drinks advertising at sporting and cultural events principally targeted at those under the age of 18.
Mr MacIver told the health committee: "There is one aspect I think I should correct because it is, in my view, on reflection, wrong.
"We did cite examples of someone wearing a football jersey turning up at school gates. I accept that is not a fixed place so perhaps members could draw a line through that one.
"Unless you have got a very lazy parent who is standing there for days on end."
An online survey carried out by the committee found that 78% of the 543 respondents supported a ban on alcohol advertising near schools, and 83% supported a ban on alcohol sponsorship at events targeted at under 18s. | The Law Society has said it was "wrong" over claims that parents picking children up from school wearing alcohol-branded sports tops could be criminalised by proposed new laws. | 34646834 |

The ad featured a boy called Andy complaining to friends that his dad had bet his life savings on Germany winning the World Cup.
But after Germany's success, people took to social media, joking that Andy's father should be congratulated.
Officials updated the ad, with the boy's dad gambling away his winnings.
The National Council on Problem Gambling said last week it had chosen Germany in the advert to inject a sense of "realism" into its message.
It said the idea was to deter people from getting carried away by the World Cup hype.
However, the ad was lampooned around the world after Germany thrashed Brazil 7-1 in the semi-finals and the mockery peaked when Germany beat Argentina 1-0 in the final.
Critics said that it was more likely to encourage people to gamble.
Singapore's trade and industry minister Teo Ser Luck wrote on his Facebook page: "Andy, okay you can stop smiling. Go get your savings from your daddy. Tell him please don't do this again and you get ready for school."
In the council's revamped advert, Andy's friend asks: "Your dad's team won. Did you get your savings back?"
"No, dad never stops," the boy replies. "He wants to bet one more time."

This decision marks a huge step in the fight against poaching, with some animal conservation charities calling the decision "historic" and a "game-changer" for the future of elephants.
China is currently the biggest buyer and seller of ivory in the world - in fact some people think around seven out of every ten pieces of ivory in the world ends up for sale there.
The decision came as part of a big convention called Cites, which took place earlier this year in Africa.
China's State Council has said that the sale and processing of ivory will stop by 31 March - meaning that registered traders of ivory will be stopped from buying and selling it - aiming to stop the trade of ivory in China by the end of the year.
Poachers hunt animals such as rhino, elephants and tigers to sell their body parts.
Rhino horn and ivory, which is found in elephant tusks, can be illegally sold for huge amounts of money.
They're sold in different countries where they can be carved into ornaments, jewellery and even chopsticks.
Some people buy them to show off how rich they are, and others believe they have magical healing powers and use them as medicines, but scientists say these medicines don't work.
If poaching continues at its current rate, creatures like elephants and rhino may be gone in our lifetime.
Speaking about China's decision, executive director of the Wildlife Conservation Society in Asia, Aili Kang, said: "I am very proud of my country for showing this leadership that will help ensure that elephants have a fighting chance to beat extinction." | China has announced it will ban all trade in ivory by the end of 2017. | 38477032 |

Edwards, 37, returns as captain of holders Vipers for the second edition of the T20 competition this month.

Over the same period last year, the company made a profit of $780m.

Eduard Peticky, 48, and his younger brother, Ludovit, abused two boys and a girl as young as three years old in the Eastwood area between 2010 and 2012.
They were found guilty of 10 charges between them, including sexual assault, after a trial on 25 July last year.
Sentencing them at Sheffield Crown Court, Judge Peter Kelson said it was "a hugely horrifying incident".
Eduard Peticky, of Josephine Road, Rotherham, was sentenced to life in prison and ordered to serve a minimum term of 10 years for four offences including sexual exploitation and trafficking.
His 45-year-old brother, Ludovit Peticky, of Legrams Lane, Bradford, was jailed for 12 years for six offences.
Both had denied all the charges.
Speaking of Eduard's offending, the judge said: "This is a hugely horrifying incident and as depraved as could possibly be. It is horrific. He poses a substantial risk to society."
A police investigation began in September 2013 after the victims disclosed what had happened to them.

Susan Jones, 57, transferred the cash from CK Supermarkets' accounts where she had worked for 20 years to help out the farm in Llandeilo.
She was jailed for 45 months after pleading guilty to fraud at Swansea Crown Court on Friday.
Judge Peter Heywood described the theft as "staggering".
The court heard how the mother-of-four, who started working for the supermarket in 1994, handled all the company's accounts as her boss was "computer illiterate".
She started transferring the cash into her bank account in 2009 after her family farm ran into financial problems.
Over a four-year period Jones stole £955,368, using it to pay off her mortgage and for agricultural supplies.
The theft was eventually spotted following an audit by an accountant.
Frank Phillips, prosecuting, said the police only became involved when she failed to pay back the cash.
Terence Woods, defending, said Jones's farm had been in her family for several generations and she was "desperate not to lose it".
After the verdict, Iwan Jenkins, from the Crown Prosecution Service, described the case as complex, saying Jones had been "using her own system to keep track of the false payments".
"There was a lot of documentary evidence to assess but we were able to demonstrate exactly what she had done, resulting in a guilty plea," he said. | A company secretary who stole almost £1m from a supermarket's accounts after her family's Carmarthenshire farm ran into difficulties has been jailed. | 39668854 |

Worcestershire off-spinner Moeen took 3-32 and Yorkshire leg-spinner Rashid 2-41 as Australia were bowled out for 207 under the floodlights.
"Handing the ball to our spin twins was quite easy," said Morgan.
"They didn't bowl any bad balls and they took advantage of the conditions."
Australia lead the five-match series 2-1 with two matches to play - at Headingley on Friday and Old Trafford again on Sunday.
Only Australia pace bowler Pat Cummins, with eight wickets, has taken more than Rashid's seven in the series, while Moeen's figures were the best of his 25-match ODI career.
England face Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates this winter, on pitches expected to favour slower bowlers.
"Moeen and Rashid did outstandingly," said man-of-the-match James Taylor, whose 101 off 114 balls - his maiden ODI century - anchored England's 300-8.
"It put a lot of pressure on Australia knowing it was spinning and to bowl like that, and front up, was outstanding."
Morgan, who made 62 off 56 balls in a third-wicket stand of 119 with Taylor, added: "I'm very impressed. We improved in the areas I asked from the first two games.
"James Taylor has come in as a replacement for Joe Root, which isn't easy. But he has done a fine job of it. He has played extremely well." | Captain Eoin Morgan praised "outstanding" spinners Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid after England kept the one-day series against Australia alive with a 93-run win at Old Trafford. | 34193888 |
The FRC is an independent disciplinary body for accountants and actuaries in the UK.
Its two-and-a-half-year investigation looked at business services giant PwC's auditing of Tesco's accounts.
However, it said it had concluded there was "not a realistic prospect" that PwC would be found guilty of misconduct.
At the same time, the FRC said it was continuing to investigate other chartered accountants in connection with Tesco's accounts.
PwC said: "We co-operated fully during the FRC's thorough investigation and are pleased that the FRC has closed it without any further action."
The investigation stemmed from Tesco's 2014 accounting scandal, in which profits were overstated by £326m.
Tesco said it had incorrectly booked payments from its suppliers.
In January last year, the Grocery Code Adjudicator, Christine Tacon, found that Tesco "knowingly delayed paying money to suppliers in order to improve its own financial position".
In March this year, Tesco was fined £129m over the affair. It also agreed with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to spend £85m on compensating investors.

The National Transportation Safety Board said Walmart employee Kevin Roper could have prevented the crash had he been driving at the posted speed limit.
The NTSB said he had been awake for 28 hours at the time of the crash.
They also said the injuries to Morgan and other passengers were exacerbated by their failure to wear seat belts.
The accident on the New Jersey turnpike left Morgan with brain injuries and killed another comedian, James "Jimmy Mack" McNair.
Nine other people were injured in a pile-up that involved 21 people in six vehicles.
Investigators found that Mr Roper's truck was driving 65 mph in a 45 mph zone when it rear-ended the limousine at around 01:00 on 7 June 2014.
A hearing on Tuesday heard that the Walmart driver had driven 800 miles overnight to the company's distribution centre before embarking on his delivery.
Investigators recommended that the US retail giant improve fatigue management plans for drivers and install better vehicle warning systems.
Kevin Roper has been charged with vehicular homicide and assault by auto and is awaiting trial in New Jersey.
Morgan reached an "amicable" settlement with Walmart in May, the terms of which have not been made public.

Visitors to the free event have been told to check social media before visiting on Sunday evening.
The organiser, Artichoke, and the Met Police sent tweets on Saturday asking people to come on Sunday instead.
It is the first time the festival of lights, featuring installations from 30 artists, has been held in London.
The illuminated art has been placed in locations around the city including Piccadilly, Mayfair, King's Cross, Trafalgar Square and Westminster.
It will be lit up from 18:30 GMT to 22:30.
Advice on the festival will be tweeted using the hashtag #LumiereLDN. | Installations were temporarily switched off and Kings Cross Station was evacuated due to overcrowding at the Lumiere London Festival on Saturday. | 35337571 |
They were walking across a recently upgraded railway line that runs through a wild jungle area in Cheddikulam, 162 miles (260km) north of Colombo.
One of the calves was dragged for some 300 metres along the track, police told AFP news agency.
Wildlife protection officers will be now sent to help train drivers avoid such incidents, the government says.
"We are also going to discuss this issue with railway officials and plan to install night vision cameras on these trains," Wildlife Department director WSK Pathiratna told BBC Sinhala.
There have been several recent fatal incidents involving elephants in Sri Lanka:
Elephants are seen as sacred in Sri Lanka and protected by law.

Philippe Lamberts said MEPs could move from the French city to their other building in Brussels, Belgium.
His suggestion came as new proposals to redistribute 160,000 migrants were announced.
An influx of hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees has sparked a crisis in the 28-nation EU.
"This parliament where we are gathered today, well we use it only 50 days of the year," Mr Lamberts said as lawmakers debated an address by European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker.
"For the other 300 days, the 750 MEP offices, all heated, all with their own shower cubicle, remain empty and useless.
"We propose that this... perfectly equipped building be used as a temporary home for the migrants and refugees while we do our work in Brussels."
Migrants have been pouring into western EU countries, particularly Austria and Germany, where they are being cared for in registration centres. But officials say they are struggling to cope with the numbers.
The Green Party has been a fierce critic of the European Parliament's monthly move between Brussels and Strasbourg, branding it expensive and damaging to the environment.
The city stands on the Rhine facing Germany, and France insists it is a symbol of post-war unity and friendship.
Strasbourg hotels, restaurants and other services also benefit from the regular visits by MEPs, parliament staff, journalists and lobbyists.
The Strasbourg parliament building was inaugurated in 1999 by then French President Jacques Chirac.

Mukhtar Hussain, defence counsel for Roger Cooper, told Birmingham Crown Court that prosecutors have deployed "imaginary and erroneous" speculation against his client.
Mr Cooper, 41, and his brother David, 38, deny murdering Sameena Imam, from Cardiff, on Christmas Eve last year.
Ms Imam's body was found buried on David Cooper's allotment in January.
Roger Cooper managed the Coventry warehouse of cash-and-carry firm Costco and was having an affair with Ms Imam, the company's marketing manager.
It is alleged that Mr Cooper, from Coventry, thought he would be sacked if their relationship was exposed.
Mr Hussain said Ms Imam was in a good mood after travelling from Coventry to Leicester with Roger Cooper to the home of his brother.
Jurors were told she suddenly went rigid after a comment made by David Cooper.
Mr Hussain added: "She was angry about the lack of trust and respect and told Roger Cooper that he had crossed the line.
"She was sobbing, crying, shouting, hysterical. She clearly thought, you may think, that her privacy had been invaded when he had asked his brother to go and spy on her."
The court heard Ms Imam demanded to be let out of the car so she could get a taxi.
"He stopped at a Tesco. She gathered up her things and stormed off. That was the last he saw of her," said Mr Hussain.
The case continues. | A man accused of murdering his lover last saw her after dropping her off at a supermarket, a court has heard. | 34214872 |
The council has been looking for a third party to take on Bodlondeb in Aberystwyth since 2015, but failed to secure a bid which met requirements.
A report to go before the council's scrutiny committee on Friday recommends consulting on the closure of the home.
The 13 residents - 11 permanent and two temporary - would have to move to another care home.
It is a 44-bed home, but only 26 beds are registered as the rest do not comply with standards.
It can also provide day care for up to five people, with one person currently attending twice weekly.
The home has been operating at a loss of nearly £400,000 per year - more than £7,600 per week.
The report said the Bodlondeb building, in Penparcau, needed significant investment if it were to continue operating.
Ceredigion council said there was a "high level of voids" - empty spaces - in care homes in the county, which it said reflects the "changing nature of care requirements".
It said people were entering residential care later in life with more complex needs.
Hywel Dda University Health Board decided against taking on the home, the report added.
The report recommends a maximum eight-week consultation with residents, families and stakeholders with Ceredigion cabinet due to make a final decision on its closure.
If the report recommendations are approved on Friday, admissions would stop immediately. | A residential home in Ceredigion is at risk of closing, with the potential loss of 33 jobs. | 40274563 |

Fly-half Sam Davies thought he had brought Ospreys level at 27-27 but was penalised for a double-movement following a tackle by Kieran Marmion.
Following the decision by Irish television match official Jude Quinn, Connacht went on to win 30-22.
"It's a try," said Ospreys forwards coach Chris Gibbes.
"Clear and obvious. It's a try. We've come here to score four tries and through an officiating situation, we've missed that opportunity to get the fourth try.
"It's pretty clear and obvious, but that process is flawed. We're disappointed with that."
Ospreys' defeat was a blow to their hopes of reaching the Pro12's end-of-season play-offs, leaving them in seventh place and eight points behind the top four.
Connacht stretched their lead at the top of the table to six points, and Gibbes was frustrated to leave Galway without even a losing bonus point.
"It wasn't a good performance," he added.
"When there are so many missed tackles you are going to come off the wrong side against a pretty good, committed Connacht side.
"It's a tough place to come and play but the performance wasn't good enough and we are pretty disappointed about that." | Ospreys bemoaned a refereeing controversy as they had a "clear" try disallowed in their defeat at Connacht. | 35681994 |
Etzebeth has not recovered from concussion suffered in the 37-21 loss against England on 12 November and will return to South Africa.
He missed the 20-18 defeat by Italy in Florence on Saturday.
"We won't call up a replacement because we currently have sufficient cover in that position," explained Springbok coach Allister Coetzee.
South Africa have locks Pieter-Steph du Toit, Lood de Jager and Franco Mostert in their squad, with Coetzee adding: "There are also some utility forwards who can provide extra cover if needed."
Wales are attempting to win three autumn internationals for the first time since 2002 after narrow wins over Argentina and Japan.
However, the nature of those wins and the 32-8 hammering by Australia have drawn criticism in Wales.
South Africa's loss in Florence was their first ever against Italy and led to Coetzee and captain Adriaan Strauss issuing an apology and SA Rugby president Mark Alexander announcing a review of the Springboks.

League One side Albion Rovers drew 0-0 with Greenock Morton in the other group game, but the Championship side took the bonus point after penalties.
Killie goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald saved a penalty from Scott Linton before summer signing Souleymane Coulibaly put the Premiership side ahead.
Will Boyle added the second before Jamie Watson pulled a goal back.
Boyle, the defender on loan from Huddersfield Town, had an eventful debut in Cumbernauld, conceding the penalty with a hand ball before extending Killie's lead.
It means Kilmarnock lead Morton by a point after the opening group games.
The Greenock side took the bonus point in Coatbridge, introduced for the first time this season, with a 5-3 win on penalties.
Clyde manager Barry Ferguson: "We should have won the game. I thought we were the better team.
"After we missed the penalty, we felt a bit sorry for ourselves, but I thought overall we were the better team."
Kilmarnock manager Lee Clark: "We're happy we've won the game and there were some good individual performances, but we're quite disappointed with our overall performance.
"We know there is lots to build on. We have to be better without the ball."

This would prevent the militants from rebuilding a presence in the area, Gen Tukur Buratai added.
The military overran the militants' last camp in Sambisa on Friday.
It had become their main base after they lost control of urban strongholds in north-eastern Borno state in 2015.
Many of the militants are thought to have fled to areas closer to the border with Niger and Chad before the camp fell, says BBC Hausa service editor Jimeh Saleh.
In an address to troops in Damasak town in Borno state, Gen Buratai said that troops were conducting a "mop-up operation" against Boko Haram in the forest, a former colonial game reserve.
"We are opening up roads in Sambisa forest to site a base. It is going to be one of our training centres in the country as well as ground for testing acquired equipment before putting them into operation," he added.
There has been speculation that some of the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped in 2014 were being held in the forest, after it was named by a small number of girls who have been freed.
On Saturday, President Muhammadu Buhari said that efforts to find the remaining girls would be intensified.
He congratulated the armed forces on the Sambisa operation, calling the apparent success "long-awaited and most gratifying".
The militant group, which is linked to the so-called Islamic State, still stages suicide bombings in the north-east and in neighbouring Niger and Cameroon.

United manager Jose Mourinho said on Friday the Premier League club had turned down an offer for the 22-year-old Netherlands international.
"I have put a priority on Memphis Depay," said Genesio.
"Things are progressing. We keep on working. It takes time because recruiting a player now is not easy."
Depay joined United from PSV Eindhoven for £31m in May 2015, signing a four-year contract.
He has scored seven goals in 53 appearances for the Red Devils but has not started Premier League game since Mourinho was appointed in the summer.
Speaking on Friday, Mourinho said: "The offer we had is far from being reasonable for us.
"He is our player. If nothing happens, he is one more for us."
Genesio described Depay as a "young player with great international experience and a lot of potential".
He added: "He has an interesting profile for us. But there are several things to consider, including the price."

Most of them were killed by falling trees in the districts of Cox's Bazar and Rangamati, officials told the BBC.
Hundreds of houses were fully or partly damaged, the officials said. Significant damage is reported in refugee camps housing Rohingya Muslims from neighbouring Myanmar.
The authorities have moved hundreds of thousands of people to shelters.
A farmer from Cox's Bazar, Rashid Mia, told the BBC he had lost everything: "The house is gone, all the furniture has also gone. The cyclone damaged my farm equipment. We came to this shelter just to survive."
About 20,000 houses in refugee camps for Rohingya were damaged, community leader Abdus Salam told AFP news agency.
"In some places, almost every shanty, homemade of tin, bamboo and plastic, has been flattened," Mr Salam added. "Some people were injured, but no-one is dead [in the camps]."
Cyclone Mora made landfall at 06:00 local time (00:00 GMT) between the fishing port of Cox's Bazar and the city of Chittagong, with winds of up to 117 km/h (73mph), the country's meteorological department said.
It then weakened as it moved north, heading into India.
In Bangladesh, people were evacuated to shelters, schools and government offices.
Fishing boats and trawlers have been advised to remain in shelters until the late evening. Flights in the area have been cancelled.

Coles (3-54) removed Dan Christian and captain James Taylor at the end of the 48th over and bowled Luke Fletcher with the first delivery of the 50th.
Taylor (109) and Alex Hales (81) helped Notts post 335 all out at Trent Bridge.
Billings then smashed 118 not out off 89 balls after Daniel Bell-Drummond hit 73 as Kent reached 340-5.
Pace bowler Coles' hat-trick came in a remarkable end to the hosts' innings which saw them lose their final six wickets in 10 balls for just four runs.
However, Taylor's fine hundred, which included four boundaries and four sixes, Hales' 77-ball knock and Dan Christian's 59 off 36 balls had already helped Notts to a huge score before the clatter of wickets.
Kent then looked to be heading towards defeat with 106 runs required off the final 10 overs with five wickets in hand.
But England one-day batsman Billings was instrumental as Kent took 54 off the next three overs, before bringing up his hundred off 77 balls.
Alex Blake was equally as aggressive in his unbeaten 50 as the visitors raced to victory with eight deliveries to spare.

The Scotland Under-21 international has made only five appearances for Sporting since joining from Dundee United on a six-year deal in 2014.
The 21-year-old spent part of last season on loan at Vitoria Setubal but joined Sporting's first-team squad for pre-season training.
Desportivo Aves won promotion to Portugal's top-flight last season.
They finished second in Liga Pro to secure only their fourth campaign in Portugal's top division.
Despite limited first-team opportunities at Sporting, Gauld believes the move has benefited his development.
The spell at Vitoria Setubal last season, cut short due to a disagreement between the two clubs, provided him with regular experience of first-team football in the Primeria Liga.
"This season was a bit up and down," Gauld said during his return to Scotland in the summer.

A Stock Exchange announcement confirmed the deal's conclusion, following court approval for the merger last week.
The enlarged company, which will trade as Standard Life Aberdeen, will hold £670bn under management.
Co-chief executive Keith Skeoch described the move as the "beginning of a new chapter" in the firms' history.
Mr Skeoch said: "Our leadership team is in place and we have full business readiness from day one."
The merger, which was agreed in March, is targeting cost savings of £200m a year, with about 800 jobs expected to be lost over three years from a global workforce of 9,000.
The new company will be jointly led by Mr Skeoch and Aberdeen boss Martin Gilbert.
Mr Gilbert said: "As ever our priority remains the delivery of strong investment performance and the highest level of client service.

The raids on Saturday morning were close to Chibok, from where more than 200 schoolgirls were abducted in April.
Villagers said Boko Haram fighters spent six hours on a shooting spree, chasing fleeing residents into the bush and torching homes.
Boko Haram wants to create an Islamic state in northern Nigeria.
The latest attacks by the group appear to have centred on two villages - Kwarangilam and Koronginim.
Residents described how attackers wearing military uniforms arrived in sports utility vehicles and on motorbikes shouting "Allahu Akbar" and shooting everyone in sight.
Many were gunned down as they tried to hide in the bush.
Witnesses also described seeing Nigerian air force planes and soldiers taking part in a counter-offensive.
The bodies of Boko Haram fighters were also reported to have been found outside Kwarangilam along with burned-out vehicles.
Hundreds of villagers have been killed in northern Nigeria in Boko Haram attacks in recent months.
In one attack near the Borno state capital, Maiduguri, at the beginning of June, 45 people were killed.
The attackers told villagers they had come to preach before firing on a crowd that gathered, survivors said.
Militants have frequently targeted remote areas since emergency rule was imposed a year ago in the north-east.
Nigeria's government has been facing growing pressure both at home and abroad to do more to tackle Boko Haram since the militants' kidnapping of the Chibok schoolgirls.
The BBC's Will Ross in Lagos says that civilians who have formed vigilante groups are calling on the government to arm them with better guns so they can be more effective against the group.

The 38-year-old initially chose to quit at the end of last season, before reversing his decision last November.
"There comes a point where family becomes more important," Prince said in a statement on the the club website.
Prince, Lancashire's leading run scorer this season, was crucial in helping the Red Rose county to promotion to Division One.
"I wanted to come back and get the side back up to Division One and that's been achieved," added Prince, who played for Lancashire in six of the last seven seasons.
"Not only that, but we've won the T20 Blast which was a bonus. The whole squad have been excellent and I've absolutely loved my time at Lancashire."
Notably this season, Prince hit 261 against Glamorgan in a 501-run third-wicket stand with ex-Proteas team-mate Alviro Petersen, the third highest for a third wicket partnership in first-class cricket history.
Prince also made 119 international appearances for South Africa - playing in 66 Tests, 119 one-day internationals and one Twenty20 international - after making his debut against Australia in February 2002.

Two-thirds of last year's 2.6 million stillbirths were in Africa.
Half of stillbirths happen during labour as a result of preventable conditions, notably syphilis and malaria, they add.
The studies argue stillbirths are preventable through high-quality antenatal care.
The studies say there is a widespread belief that stillbirths are due to birth defects and are unavoidable.
However, it points out that this only accounts for 7.3% of stillbirths after 28 weeks.
They ranked the three countries with the highest rates of still births as Pakistan, followed by Nigeria and Chad.
A notable exception is Rwanda, which the studies point out was able to reduce the number of stillbirths.

The University of Melbourne's Dr Ronelle Welton examined hospital admissions data and coronial records.
From 2000 to 2013, horses were responsible for 74 deaths.
Bees and other stinging insects were the next most dangerous, causing 27 deaths, followed by snakes, which also claimed 27 lives but landed fewer people in hospital.
Spiders were not responsible for any deaths during that time, the research showed.
Dr Welton said the study, published in Internal Medicine Journal, challenged stereotypes around Australia's venomous animals.
The main focus of her study was animals that bite and sting, but she uncovered the number of horse-related deaths in the process.
"Australia is known as the epicentre of all things venomous," Dr Welton told the BBC.
But "what was surprising" was that insects caused the most people to seek treatment in hospital, she said.
Dr Welton said the research showed allergic reactions to bites or stings posed the most danger. | Horses killed more people in Australia in recent years than all venomous animals combined, research has shown. | 38592390 |
Mother of two Sally Preece was a week into a Lands End to John O' Groats challenge when she was involved in a collision with a car driven by Kenneth McClelland on the A85 at Glen Ogle.
The 49-year-old, of Cheltenham, was taken to hospital after the crash on 12 September, 2014, but died the next day.
Mr McClelland denies causing death by careless driving, and will stand trial.
At Stirling Sheriff Court, it was alleged that Mr McClelland, of Largs, "failed to maintain proper observations" and overtook when it was not safe to do so on the A85 at Glen Ogle, near Killin.
According to the indictment, he caused his Volvo saloon to "enter into the opposing carriageway and strike" Mrs Preece, whereby she sustained serious and fatal injuries.
Mrs Preece was taking part in the 969-mile Deloitte Ride Across Britain event. The Lloyds Bank employee was raising money for the Alzheimer's Society.
The court was told that Mr McClelland's defence team had instructed a road traffic expert to look into the crash, but the report was not yet available.

The Uzbek Foreign Minister, Abdulaziz Kamilov, said information about Rakhmat Akilov had been "passed to one of our Western partners, so that the Swedish side could be informed".
It is rare for the Uzbek authorities to disclose such intelligence details.
Mr Akilov has confessed to the crime.
The Swedish security service says it can neither confirm nor deny receiving such information from Uzbekistan.
Mr Akilov, 39, left Uzbekistan for Sweden in 2014. He sought residency there, but in December 2016 he was told that he had four weeks to leave the country, police said.
He disappeared and, in February, was officially put on a wanted list.
Just hours after the attack last Friday he was arrested. At a court hearing he confessed to a "terrorist crime".
Four people were killed when a lorry was driven into a department store on one of Stockholm's busiest streets, Drottninggatan.
Mr Kamilov told a news conference that the suspect had "actively urged his compatriots to travel to Syria in order to fight for IS". Mr Akilov had used online messaging services, he said.
Earlier, an Uzbek security source quoted by the Reuters news agency said Mr Akilov himself had tried to travel to Syria in 2015 to fight for IS. However, he was stopped on the Turkey-Syria border and was sent back to Sweden.
No group has claimed to be behind the Stockholm attack.
Mr Akilov reportedly ran from the scene of the attack, still covered in blood and glass, and was arrested later in a northern suburb of Stockholm.

The 59-year-old was elected as the body's first independent chairman on a two-year term in May last year.
Manohar, a two-time president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), said the decision was because of personal reasons.
"I hope the ICC achieves greater heights in future," the Indian added.
The ICC confirmed it had received Manohar's resignation on Wednesday, adding that it would "assess the situation" before making any further announcements.
Manohar had previously sought to reduce the power of England, Australia and India - the so-called Big Three - on the ICC's decision-making executive committee.
Speaking in February 2016, he stated: "No member of the ICC is bigger than the other."

Comosa AG - a new venture involving some of the biggest names in boxing promotion, is behind the event.
"It is Comosa's ambition to turn the World Boxing Super Series into the world's biggest and best boxing tournament," said Roberto Dalmiglio, Comosa's head of management board.

A similar Super Six World Boxing Classic was held between 2009 and 2011.
Richard Schaefer, the former Golden Boy promotions chief executive, is among those involved in the venture.
"Boxing has really been missing a big tournament like the World Boxing Super Series. Every major sport has one," he said. | A new shootout tournament with 16 of the world's best fighters competing for $50m (£41m) will "change the world of boxing", say those behind the plan. | 39224391 |

Wightlink began operating larger cross-Solent ferries from its new Lymington terminal in 2009.
The Lymington River Association (LRA) claimed it was harming wildlife habitats.
At a hearing at the Court of Appeal, Lord Justice Sullivan refused it permission to appeal further.
The campaigners had attempted to appeal over a 2011 planning inquiry decision about Wightlink's project to operate larger W-class ships between Lymington and Yarmouth, which had commenced two years earlier.
Wightlink had been allowed to continue running larger ships on Lymington River after promising to "offset" the environmental impact.
Opponents mounted legal action, claiming the ships were creating a bigger wash and were harming habitats in the Lymington River.
But following a public inquiry, the planning inspector agreed that a plan to dredge material from the river to replenish marshland was sufficient.
New Forest's district council and national park authority withdrew their objections to the scheme after it was revealed Natural England had agreed to the plans to replenish the marsh.
The ferry company said the legal action had cost it £3.5m in five years.
John Burrows, chief operating officer, said: "While we recognise the rights of individuals to challenge developments on environmental grounds, we believe this case has gone too far.
"It seems to us to be quite wrong that a small group of individuals should be able to impose such a costly legal burden on the UK taxpayer and on our company."
Stephen Akester, of the Lymington River Association, said the decision was "very disappointing".
He said the objections were mounted by "responsible citizens seeking the truth and conservation of the marshes which protect and form an essential part of the character of Lymington". | Campaigners have been refused permission to continue court action against a ferry terminal on the Hampshire coastline. | 28420679 |
