Trump criticizes London mayor after latest attack on city
At least 48 people were taken to hospitals, the London Ambulance Service tweeted.
The first victim of the London terror attack has been named as Canadian national Christine Archibald.
“He always sets up community groups in terms of the homelessness that is happening here, so to hear that he is now complicit with this, it is very hard to stomach”, Pettit said.
He stabbed a police officer to death before being shot dead by a ministerial bodyguard. He said he saw someone jump into the water to avoid being hit. In March, a British convert to Islam ran down people with a vehicle on Westminster Bridge, killing four before fatally stabbing a policeman on Parliament’s grounds.
Witness Elsbeth Smedley told CNN that a man ran into Elliot’s, a cafe, and stabbed two people before running out. “That this should happen in this month of Ramadan, when many Muslims were praying and fasting only goes to show that these people respect neither life nor faith”, he said.
Around 850 people from the United Kingdom have traveled to work with jihadi groups in Syria and Iraq, with half having returned to the United Kingdom – and more 100 convicted when they came back to Britain.
British authorities have classified the incidents as terrorist attacks.
“YOUR local police are out and about working to keep you safe”, they wrote. Trump said on June 4, 2017.
A French man also died in the murderous rampage but a spokesman for France’s foreign ministry gave no further details Sunday, the UK Telegraph reported.
Some of those hospitalized are in critical condition, London Mayor Sadiq Khan said.
The attack killed seven people in a busy section of London and wounded about 50 people.
The Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, said one Australian has been injured, and officials are looking into reports a second was also caught up in the attack.
French President Emmanuel Macron said French citizens were among the victims. The BBC cited police as saying there had been more than one fatality.
Rowley said police were confident that the three men fatally shot by officers in the minutes after the assault were the only attackers, but there was “clearly more to do” in the investigation.
Applebee turned and saw three men wearing belts or vests with packets around the belly.
Twelve people have been arrested in connection with the attack.
British Prime Minister Theresa May said Britain had to be tougher in stamping out Islamist extremism, declaring: “It is time to say enough is enough”.
Khan said Sunday that Londoners should all remain vigilant as the terrorist threat level is severe.
Police announced the two incidents at London Bridge and Borough Market were “terrorist incidents” and warned people to avoid the area while emergency vehicles responded to the attacks. Khan spoke those words in a television interview Sunday in the context of reassuring Londoners about an increased police presence they might see. The area that came under attack last night is one of the London’s most popular hangout areas for a weekend with bars, restaurants and clubs.
