Major Incident: Finsbury Park, London - Van Ploughs into Pedestrians
BREAKING:
Quote:
A van has collided with worshippers leaving a mosque in north London, according to the Muslim Council of Britain.
The Metropolitan Police say they are dealing with a "major incident" as a result of the collision in Seven Sisters Road, Finsbury Park.
A Sky News producer at the scene says the incident happened as worshippers were leaving the Finsbury Park Mosque at midnight Ramadan prayers.
The council said on Twitter: "We have been informed that a van has run over worshippers as they left #FinsburyPark Mosque. Our prayers are with the victims."

Re: Major Incident: Finsbury Park, London - Van Ploughs into Pedestrians
There seems top be conflicting reports in the article you'linked to.
Quote:
There have been some angry scenes from locals - with one man shouting at police officers.
He claimed it took them one hour to arrive at the scene while "someone bled to death".

Apparently the Iman of the Mosque kept the guy and stopped him from being attacked from others. Credit to him!
Awful few months for London though.

i can't answer that
i have been watching on the news the" Muslim community " is outraged at this attack asking how can anyone do this , my first thought was are you for real this is a copy of atrocities carried out by Muslims ,now i'm not condoning it but it must have been on the cards that this would eventually happen ,i wouldn't want to live in London it's out of control.

Re: Major Incident: Finsbury Park, London - Van Ploughs into Pedestrians
This is terrible and there's going to be the inevitable confusion about what actually happened. I think everyone needs to just calm down and not go around propagating inaccurate nonsense but of course there are those in our society, including very sadly some high profile politicians, who seize upon this sort of thing to stir up more trouble which they believe suits their agenda in one perverse manner or another.

Don't know where you live but you've more chance of being killed in your car wherever you are than being the victim of terrorists in London or anywhere else in the UK for that matter.
London is no more out of control than any other major city and a good deal less so than most.

Absolutely but the siren voices of some will always exaggerate some things.

Re: Major Incident: Finsbury Park, London - Van Ploughs into Pedestrians
So this was some sort of revenge attack ?

Witnesses said the driver had shouted: “I want to kill all Muslims” before onlookers pinned him to the ground.

Doesn seem like a proper terrorist attack.

Re: Major Incident: Finsbury Park, London - Van Ploughs into Pedestrians
I think the evidence is there for all to see, a van being hired to mow people down, with the intent to kill, installing fear and terror, so without skirting around the idea, that some don't want to call this a terror attack and more like a revenge attack, but it is whichever way you look at it, a terrorist incident with an extreme right wing/revenge attack being the motive.
However, we still need to know the nationality of the arrested person. Witnesses say he was a white male, all police have confirmed so far is that a 48 year old male has been arrested from the scene.

Re: Major Incident: Finsbury Park, London - Van Ploughs into Pedestrians
It's a revenge terror attack by some far right knob.
It is right to call it a terror attack, it is designed to terrorise the Muslim community, so they're now looking over their shoulder.
As some mentioned earlier, it was only a matter of when not if this would happen.

I'm pretty stunned some people can't see it as a terror attack to be honest.
