London terror attacks: What we know and don’t know

A Canadian is among the dead in Saturday night’s terror attack in London, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed Sunday.

Giving an update on the investigation outside New Scotland Yard, he said “significant progress” had been made in identifying the attackers.

“We believe we are experiencing a new trend in the threat we face as terrorism breeds terrorism”, May said.

At 10.08 p.m. BST Saturday night (5.08 p.m. ET), London Metropolitan officers responded to reports of a vehicle colliding with pedestrians on London Bridge.

The assailants wore fake suicide vests in a bid to increase the sense of panic as they lunged seemingly at random at the crowds gathered around London Bridge and Borough Market, which is full of restaurants and bars.

– London is a city on edge following an eight-minute terrorist rampage killed seven people and injured 48 more yesterday.

London Ambulance Service Assistant Director of Operations Peter Rhodes said: “We took 48 patients to five hospitals across London and treated a number of others at the scene for minor injuries”. “It is time to say enough is enough”.

Trump’s appeal for his travel ban, which he says is needed to protect Americans from terrorist attacks, followed his emergency request that the Supreme Court reinstate the executive order that would bar people entering the United States from six predominantly Muslim countries.

Britain has weathered two other terror attacks in recent months.

A spokesman for Metropolitan Police said 12 people were arrested in Barking, East London, on Sunday, in connection with the attacks.

Former Vice President Al Gore, speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union” program, said he thought Trump’s tweet misrepresented what the mayor had said.

The British Transport Police said one of their officers, among the first to arrive, took the attackers on armed only with his baton and was seriously wounded. On March 22, five people were killed in London after Khalid Masood rammed his auto into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before fatally stabbing a policeman outside the Houses of Parliament. It’s probable that Trump fired off his tweets after watching Fox & Friends, where pundits discussed Khan’s comments in the same manner around the same time. “That’s because they used knives and a truck!”, he wrote in his final post for the morning before taking off for a local golf course.

“The public can expect to see additional police, both armed and unarmed, across the capital in the coming days”, he said, asking people to remain calm, but vigilant, and to contact the police if they see anything suspicious. “We will never let these cowards win and we will never be cowed by terrorism”, he said.

“Muslims everywhere are outraged and disgusted at these cowards who once again have destroyed the lives of our fellow Britons”, Khan said, according to the Evening Standard.

May characterized the latest attack as the work of Islamic extremists, but no group has yet claimed responsibility.

The main political parties said they would be suspending election campaigning till the end of the day, though campaigns at a more local level are set to continue.

There’s a patient in this hospital who’s been shot in the head; a man.
