Three Jihadi knifemen shot dead last night by police after killing six 7 and hurting 30 48: Gang yell 'this is for Allah' after mowing down crowd on London Bridge and then going from bar to bar in stabbing frenz
2017-06-04
Herewith a summary of what was known as of midnight, and a place to add updates as the day progresses. Yesterday's report with the usual interesting discussion is here.
[DailyMail]
  • The men, described as being 'of Mediterranean origin', drove the white van at 50mph across the bridge

  • They mowed down up to 20 pedestrians, then jumped out of the van shouting 'this is for Allah', and began 'randomly stabbing' people

  • One horrified woman said she saw three people with what appeared to be their throats cut at London Bridge

  • Attackers, wearing fake suicide vests, then stabbed people with 12-inch hunting knives at busy pubs and bars in nearby Borough Market

  • The terrorists were shot and killed by armed police in Borough Market within eight minutes of the first call

  • A man in a black tracksuit was arrested in Vauxhall in an unrelated stabbing on Saturday night
Lots of photos and video snippets plus two maps showing the location of events.

The Sun keeps updating their report.

BBC Updates and photos

Summary update as of 1:50 p.m. EDT:
  • 12 arrested this morning in an apartment building in Barking, east London, four of them women in traditional Islamic clothing

  • One of the apartments belonged to one of the dead terrorists, suggesting the police have identified them; neighbours described a father of two small children known to the neighbours as ""Abbs"

  • Another raid at East Ham may or may not be connected

  • Four police among the wounded, one or two considered serious

  • One of the wounded police held off the attackers armed only with a baton until he was knifed in the face

  • There wil be a temporary halt in campaigning out of respect for the casualties, but at this point no talk of postponing the election itself.
