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

My son’s teacher’s brother WAS shot after shooting a terrorist. The soldier thought he was the terrorist and let fly.
When and where?
Gush Etzion Junction, a few years ago.
Thank you
Khan means ruler. Most Muslims in India, Pakistan are named Khan just to remind the Hindus who rules whome.
You invite terrorists into your country and then surprised you get terrorism.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Don’t forget that was after they took away their guns.
Mmmm...
What could be the motive, I wonder??
In this Age of “Plea-Dealing”, the death penalty is a good place to start.
The fault of the UK government for bringing in so many m*zzies and letting them get away with whatever they want to do, in return for votes.
On May 12, the commander of Kfar Etzion requested from the Central Command in Jerusalem permission to evacuate the kibbutz, but was told to stay. Later in the day, the Arabs captured the Russian Orthodox monastery, which the Haganah used as a perimeter fortress for the Kfar Etzion area, killing twenty-four of its thirty-two defenders. On May 13, a massive attack began, involving parts of two Arab Legion infantry companies, light artillery[17] and local irregular support, attacking from four directions. The kibbutz fell within a day; and the Arab forces massacred the entire population of Kfar Etzion, soldiers and civilians alike. The total number of dead during the final assault, including those killed in the massacre and those who committed suicide, was estimated to be between 75 and 250. Only three men and one woman survived.[18] The following day, the day Israel declared its independence, the three other kibbutzim surrendered. The Arab Legion took 320 persons as prisoners of war and held them in Jordan for a year before releasing them.[19][20]

The entrance to the Gush Etzion bloc is the Gush Etzion Junction, which is located just west of the intersection of Route 60 and Route 367. The junction is located between Efrat and Alon Shvut and very close to Migdal Oz. It is the site of the Gush Etzion visitors' center,[32] a gas station,[32] an automotive repair shop, a Rami Levy discount supermarket,[33] an electronics store, the Gush Etzion Winery (one minute towards Alon Shvut on the north side of the road),[34][35] a bakery, natural foods store, eyeglass shop, clothing store and pizza / felafel / shawarma stands. Across the street are a nursery and car dealership. The junction is a popular hitchhiking post, both south to Hebron / Be'er Sheva and north to Jerusalem, as well as west towards Bet Shemesh and the coast) which has frequently been the site of attacks by Palestinians against Israeli citizens.[36]
No mention of the 31, who, marching to relieve Kfar Etzion, captured a shepherd boy, and after debate decided to do the humane thing and let him go on condition he didn’t tell on them. He did. They were surrounded and died standing back to back with no other weapon than stones left. Even the sheikh leading the assault that took them down admired their courage.
Moral of the story: If you’re marching to relieve an outpost, tie the damned shepherd boy to a tree and gag him. Threaten to come back and slit his throat if he makes a sound.
There will be more. Your muzzy mayor is making sure of that.
