MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A vehicle, which rammed into pedestrians in Seven Sisters Road in northern London, specifically targeted Muslims outside the Muslim Welfare House, located near the Finsbury Park mosque, the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said Monday.

"Shocked and outraged to hear a van has intentionally run over worshippers leaving #Ramadan night prayers on Seven Sisters Road #FinsburyPark," Khan wrote on Twitter.
