Five minutes after police received a call for help, a convicted terrorist had killed two Londoners and lay dead in the middle of a busy street.
On the famous London Bridge — which links the city’s business district with the south bank of the River Thames — convicted terrorist Usman Khan, 28, was trying to murder as many Londoners as possible.
London Bridge was closed and the large London Bridge main line railway station was out of operation. Trains continued through the London Underground without stopping at the major hub of the UK’s rail network. The terrorist had been wearing a fake explosive vest when he unleashed his attack. His dark past is now coming to light.Source:AFP
An “interactive workshop” involving story telling and creative writing was taking place as the attack began. “It is very important that we get out of that habit and that we enforce the appropriate sentences for dangerous criminals, especially for terrorists, that I think the public will want to see,” he said.A policeman patrols with a dog near London Bridge after Friday’s attack.
