Van mows down pedestrians in ‘attack’ near London mosque
One killed and 10 injured in what police are treating as ‘potential terrorist’ incident
A man driving a van has ploughed into pedestrians near a Muslim centre in north London, killing at least one person and injuring 10 in what Prime Minister Theresa May said police were treating as a “potential terrorist attack”.
Police were called at 00.20 on Monday to reports of a vehicle collision with pedestrians on Seven Sisters Road in Finsbury Park. Counterterrorism police are investigating the attack.
A 48-year old white man was arrested in relation to the attack, police said. “He has been taken to hospital as a precaution, and will be taken into custody once discharged. He will also be subject of a mental health assessment,” police said.
It was the third incident in London in as many months involving vehicles being driven at pedestrians, following terrorist attacks on Westminster Bridge and London Bridge.
Mrs May said: “Police have confirmed this is being treated as a potential terrorist attack. I will chair an emergency meeting later this morning. All my thoughts are with the victims, their families and the emergency services on the scene.”
The Metropolitan Police said on Monday morning one man was pronounced dead at the scene, adding that eight people had been taken to hospital and a further two were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
If all the victims were muslim it could possibly be a revenge attack.
Calling this a "revenge attack" implies these victims did something wrong.

They are innocent.
This is a terror attack. #FinsburyPark

Ok this is more of a violent reaction to the previous attacks. Is that better.
I wonder what the Major will say now, or if the Independent will tell us to carry on as exactly as before.
@darklight4: All terror attacks are reactions to something.
This is a terror attack. Treat it no differently to the ones done by Muslim extremists.

I'm doing exactly that. I kind of knew something like this was going to happen.
What is going on in UK?...
The police force has been heavily neutered in the past decade or so. With constant funding cuts.
The Tories were also responsible for the cuts made to health & safety which eventually led to the Greenfell Tower fire.
The four terror attacks this year and the Greenfell Tower fire could've all been prevented if the Tory government didn't make so many cuts to police/security and health/safety.

YInteresting, I didnt' know that.
Just hours later, a similar hate crime in the US:
Muslim girl, 17, killed on way home from Virginia mosque
And they say under Brexit and Trump, hate crimes would slow. My ass it did.

Should still be considered a terror attack. Though you gave the reason why it happened most likely.
Instead of posing for nice photos and worshipping the royal families, their government needs to get shit on lock

Good observation. Does the "royal" family have any actual governmental power or is it just symbolic? On a side note, as a coin collector I'm sick and tired of the old woman's face on the reverse of so many foreign coins but I digress.
@tjandmia: They get hit by a muslim terror attack every other month. This was bound to start happening.
i'm not going to say that it's white terrorism because calling terrorism for what it is would be fear mongering to some
So Muslims got hurt and people want it stopped completely.
When it happened to white people it was "part and parcel to big city living"
Fake news spread by the Trumps. This is what the London mayor actually said, in response to the New York attack:
“part and parcel of living in a great, global city is you’ve got to be prepared for these things, you’ve got to be vigilant, you’ve got to support the police”
This is no different to what he has said about the most recent terror attack.
Also, it wasn't just white people killed in the previous attacks, but people of different ethnic backgrounds were killed.
What is going on in UK?...
Negligent government.
How did you come to that?
Would like to hear how you would prevent someone from driving into a crowd. At least this guy didn´t kill anyone.
Ignoring peoples problems causing hatred and anger to rise. It's the governments job to prevent this us vs them mentality from growing.
Also he did kill someone.

Actually your quote sounded even worse.
When you live there attacks are to be expected because you live in a big city. So prepare to be attacked and support the police when the attacks happen.
Again, everyone on the left was screaming about jumping to conclusions and that this is what the right caused and blah blah blah
The second Muslims may have been targeted the left wants all terrorism stopped.

Do you have any evidence for that claim?
Here's what he said about the Manchester attack
There are no words to describe the heartbreaking scenes in Manchester, following the most barbaric terrorist attack on the United Kingdom since the 7/7 bombings on London’s transport network in 2005. Innocent children and young people were indiscriminately slaughtered just after they had enjoyed watching their heroine, Ariana Grande, perform at the Manchester Arena. One of the victims, named Saffie Roussos, was just eight years old.
This was a truly evil act of terrorism, carried out by a coward, in the name of a perverse and twisted ideology. Our grief at what has happened is matched only by our absolute determination to ensure that cowards like Salman Abedi – and the sick ideology that he followed – will never be allowed to win. Londoners, Mancunians and Brits across the country will never, ever be cowed by terrorism.
And this is what he said in response to the London attack
We stand together tonight to honour the memories of the innocent lives lost and people injured in the barbaric attack in our city on Saturday night. London stands in defiance against this cowardly attack on our city, our people, our values and our way of life.
“As the mayor of London, I want to send a clear message to the sick and evil extremists who commit these hideous crimes. We will defeat you. You will not win.
“And as a proud a patriotic British Muslim I say this: You do not commit these disgusting acts in my name.”
“Your perverse ideology has nothing to do with the true values of Islam. You will never succeed in dividing our city. Today, we mourn the loss of innocent lives, Londoners and people from around the world. We send our love to the victims’ families and all those who were injured. We thank our courageous emergency services and the brave Londoners who risked their lives to care for others. You are the best of us.
“Our city is filled with great sorrow and anger tonight but also great resolve and determination because our unity and love for one another will always be stronger than the hate of the extremists.
“This is our city. These are our values and this is our way of life. London will never be broken by terrorism we will step up the fight against extremism and we will defeat the terrorists.”
So how is his reaction to this recent attack any different? In every event he was saying that we should work together to combat extremism.
Again, everyone on the left was screaming about jumping to conclusions and that this is what the right caused and blah blah blah
The second Muslims may have been targeted the left wants all terrorism stopped.
What....I'm pretty sure most people on the left and right want all forms of terrorist stopped. Are you feeling okay?
You sound like an Alex Jones nuts. You understand this political "team" crap doesn't get as extreme as you think it does...right?
Anyways, back on topic:

In other words, you're suggesting that we shouldn't be prepared for terror attacks.
The terrorist is a Britain First supporter:
Finsbury Park suspect named as Cardiff resident Darren Osborne
Osborne also appears to have a Twitter account, which he has never used to send his own tweets, instead monitoring 32 other users, including Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen, the leaders of the far right party Britain First. Its mission statement states: “We will restore Christianity as the bedrock and foundation of our national life as it has been for the last one thousand years.”

Not sure how that will stop terrorism But ok.
And BBC and other news outlets , have all reported that the old man was probably already dead before the van hit.

Again, that's not what the police are saying. This is what the police have stated:
The attack unfolded while a man was already receiving first aid from public at the scene. And sadly that man has died. Any causative link between his death and the attack will form part of our investigation. It is too early to say that his death was as the result of this attack.

Ok, so the police did not specify what killed the man, as they say that will be the focus of their investigation since that will determine if the man is charged with murder or simple attempted murder.
So the news is just speculating that he was dead before, but no one knows for sure, and no one can say he died because of the attack or not.

Exactly. The police and doctors still need to determine the cause of his death, and if the terror attack played a role in his death.
@nintendoboy16: They are bullshit & radical presidents, i am so sad to hear, as being a proud US citizen, i just wanna counseling & condemn against both countries peoples, you know they won't do anything. Its enough now US and UK citizens must have to stand be like one unity & to fought against this matter in the lighten of peace & although we have to stop suspecting each other so will definitely get better effect than now.
And i am pretty sure that if this will keep the same again & again then i wonder of that day when no one can stop this war & we will be getting down in jeopardize.
