London Bridge Attack
On Friday, two people were killed and three were injured after a knife-wielding convicted terrorist attacked them, before being shot by the police.
The culprit was identified as 28-year-old Usman Khan – a member of an al-Qaeda-inspired* group. He was freed on remand after serving only half of his 16-year sentence on terror-related charges.
This is not the first time that London Bridge has been the site of a terrorist attack. In 2017, three men mowed down pedestrians with a van on the bridge, then proceeded to carry out a knife attack in the nearby Borough Market before being gunned down by law enforcement officers.
