LONDONA terrorist killed two people in a stabbing attack in the heart of London before being shot dead by police, U.K. officials said, prompting authorities to lock down a busy area on the edge of the financial district and bringing back memories of a 2017 rampage nearby.
In a separate incident Friday evening, three people were wounded in a stabbing on a busy shopping street in the center of The Hague, Netherlands. Dutch police said the motive wasnt immediately clear and that the suspect got away.
Authorities in London called the attack there terrorism but offered no further details on the assailants motive. Police identified the suspect as 28-year-old Usman Khan. He had been convicted in 2012 for terrorism offenses and served time in prison for the part he played in the plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange in 2010.
Police received the first alarm call at 1:58 p.m. local time. Witnesses described a man with a knife appearing to burst out of Fishmongers Hall, a historic building on the north side of London Bridge used for events that was hosting a prisoner rehabilitation conference. He was being pushed away from the building by three or four other men, one of them brandishing a fire extinguisher, 48-year-old Gary Lawrence said.
According to a video taken by another witness, several bystanders rushed over to tackle the man, pinning him to the ground. Another man appeared to disarm the suspect, pulling a long knife from the melee, according to the video footage.
A police officer ran to the scene and appeared to order the pedestrians away from the man on the ground. By 2:03 p.m., it was over. Police said the assailant, who was believed to be wearing a hoax explosive device, was shot and died

Boris Johnson just extended his lead over Labour. I hate that anyone got killed but apparently Cambridge invited this terrorist to give a lecture about how he’s been rehabilitated? Talk about letting the fox into the hen house.
The answer is simple - He was Muslim and in England. The Islamic masters demanded his freedom and the dhimmis complied.
There is only one cure for devout Mohammedans.
It comes in a variety of calibers.
The bobbies use those guns for the “real” threats like Tommy Robinson and guys who twitter unapproved speech.
He’s kin of the Lord High Mayor? New normal.
__________
Not long lost nephew of the mayor Sadiq Aman Khan?

Is 'Kahn' an equivalent of 'Smith' with those people?

Boo freakin’ hoo.
It is my experience that any man named Khan can’t be trusted. You are correct it is a common Paki name
Terrorists released from prison by idiot judges and allowed to roam free among innocent citizens?
Part and parcel of living in Britain.
But thank God the citizens are safe from Assange as he is still in jail.
That’s a great way to put it.
I’m hearing on the news that “Black Friday” was underwhelming in terms of people mobbing stores (and fighting); I’d like to believe that more and more people realize there is just no reason to expose themselves to the bottom-feeders (either imported Muslim murderers or our own home-grown Simbas).

From the half hour news hour.
Looking for cause and motivation since 2005
Liberals were literally desperate for the terrorist to be a white Trump supporter and were widely spreading the false description.
Would I be considered an “islamophobe” for jumping to the conclusion of the attacker prior to the news ?
He was an Austere scholar.
Diversity is our strength.....ening of terrorism.
He was a terrorist, but it was rather shocking to see police simply execute him when he was down and disarmed — until I realized that he was wearing a bomb vest. They couldn’t have known the vest was fake until they “immobilized” him.
Many pounds sterling saved.
