Three Jihadi terrorists were shot dead by armed police after killing six people and injuring 48 others in a horrific van and knife rampage in central London last night.
The men, described as being “of Mediterranean origin” mowed down up to 20 revellers as they hurtled across London Bridge at 50mph before they got out and began “randomly stabbing” people in nearby Borough Market.
Attackers used 12-inch hunting knives to attack revellers at busy bars and restaurants in the market, sending dozens fleeing for their lives. One of the terrorists was wearing an Arsenal football shirt.
Witnesses said the gang, who had metal canisters strapped to their chests, smashed pub windows and reportedly cut the throats of drinkers. A “dark-skinned” man in a red tracksuit “calmly” stabbed a man three times. Another victim was reportedly stabbed five times in the chest.
The male suspects were shot and killed by armed police in Borough Market within eight minutes of the first call.
The attackers were wearing what appeared to be suicide vests, which turned out to be “hoaxes”, police said.
Armed police rushed to the scene where shots were heard and authorities urged panicked Londoners on Twitter to ‘run, hide, tell’ if they were caught in the “utter chaos”.
The tragedy comes just 12 days after the Manchester terror attack and 10 weeks after the Westminster atrocity.
Meanwhile President Donald Trump has demanded that his controversial “Muslim travel ban” be restored after learning of the recent terror attack in London.
Hearing of the slaughter of at least six people, Trump took the moment to declare that the United States needed his proposed tougher immigration laws for safety.
He tweeted: “We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!”
It then took the president nearly 10 minutes to offer his condolences to the victims and offer his country’s support in the wake of England’s most recent attack.
