In a third terror attack since March in England, a white van swerved off the road and mowed down pedestrians on London Bridge late on Saturday night, leaving seven dead and injuring 48. The van then drove to the Borough area and, according to the police, three armed men jumped out of the vehicle and began attacking people with knives. The three suspects were shot dead by the police. He said the police are treating the two incidents as terrorist attacks. London Mayor Sadiq Khan condemned the attacks, describing them as “barbaric”.
British Prime Minister Theresa May has insisted that the country’s parliamentary elections will go ahead as planned on June 8, despite the terror attack in London that left seven people dead and 48 injured. She stated that violence should never be allowed to disrupt the country’s democratic process, adding that campaigning for the same will resume from the next day itself.
