WESTMINSTER ATTACT


bob

Recommended Posts

One woman confirmed dead (Standard suggests two deaths), and at least ten serious, some catastrophic, injuries. One seriously injured woman rescued from the river. Car drove into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge then one of the at least - according to witnesses quoted on BBC - two attackers stabbed a police officer inside gates of Westminster. Terrible, but could have been far worse when you think about France and Germany's experiences with terrorists using vehicles as weapons.


Stabbed police officer confirmed to have died from his injuries according to the Guardian.

Named very quickly by Police (edit: apparently as that's been removed now too)


Edit: added source as that Wiki page keeps changing



If this wasn't the guy how did a load of newspapers report it and Channel 4 then pull it

Because they all see everyone else is saying it so just do the same thing instantly without bothering to check. Funny that.

According to some sources the guy named by C4 news, the "hate preacher" Abu Izzadeen, is actually in jail at the moment for breaching bail terms. He does bear a superficial resemblance to the pictures of the attacker, but other than that there doesn't seem to be much reasoning behind it.

His wiki page now says sent down for 2 years in jan 2016


That rumour just flew across the media then removed just as quickly.


Just shows as mentioned above - but some of the news said the police had named him too.
