Early reports are scattered but at least one attack allegedly occurred on London Bridge with White Truck or Van driving straight into pedestrians. One eye witness said some looked like they were stabbed too and not moving.

Another report of an incident at a nearby restaurant/bar area with gunfire.

Also, a 3rd location has been swarmed with Police as maybe one of the attackers went to this area while on the run.

If this was another terrorist attack on London, hopefully there will be clues as to the cells and contacts they had.

At a restaurant, eye witness said a waitress was stabbed in the neck while a man was stabbed in the back.

CNN has live coverage of all of these early reports from London.
 
Arianna Grande's One Love Fundraising Star Studded Concert is scheduled tomorrow and sold out at Manchester's 50,000 seat Cricket Geounds.

Wonder if this attack cancels that show?

Much of the world was watching another event earlier in the UK as the Champions League Final was held at Cardiff, Wales 75,000 seat stadium in a game broadcast to the world.

Wonder if soft targets (i.e. public places like bridges, pedestrian areas, etc...) that can never have tight security will see an increase of attacks in the coming months?

Security was already at an all time high and this still happens. They were literally checking bags outside of Chelsea stadium...and there wasn't even a game today. Just further proof that if you expect the government to protect you, you are completely ignorant. Britian literally bans pocket knives for some incredibly stupid reason, when a crazed religious nut job can run people over on the streets.

London bridge and surrounding areas are currently completely blocked off, pretty crazy
 
Fox News had some good live coverage from Sky News who has had a lot of eye witness interviews, including one of restaurant customers trying to hold the doors locked while at least 1 terrorist tried to get in.

Major US media outlets are using the terror attack to put out attacks against the President.

Traitors run our media complex.
 
Watching news coverage this am:

7 murdered
48 injured

3 terrorists jumped out of van after ramming people and ran to the market and started stabbing people with 12 inch knives.

Terrorists wore fake suicide vests and all 3 terrorists were killed within the first 8 minutes.

British Prime Minister had tough talk about about the Islamic Terrorists and how it's Violent Islamic Extremist Idiology Terrorism and she many in UK Security circles are blaming American Companies Google and Twitter for knowingly allow safe places for terrorists to communicate and spread their killing messages.

This is the 3rd Islamic Terrorists Attack in England over last 10 weeks, starting with the car/knife attack that ended outside of Parliment then the bombing in Manchester 2 weeks ago.

As of now, the Prime Minister said these 3 attacks were not related or coordinate with each other but were festered the growing Islamic Terrorists Message against the West.

The National UK Elections are still scheduled for this Thursday but campaigning today has been cancelled.

Those in the UK seem to finally have hit a tipping point and want the Govt and their counter-terrorism departments to finally go on OFFENSE, not defense, against these terrorists living among them.

London's Muslim Mayor announced this AM he has finally agreed to out more armed police out in public.

While many UK police are not armed, fortunately there were a few right where the terrorist ended up last night as the carnage would have been much, much worse.

London Mayor is also begging those in his own Muslim Community to SPEAK UP and notify authorities when they recognize potential threats from within their own community but he refused, unlike the Prime Minister, he refused to note that all of these attacks were because of Islamic Terrorism.

Those comments finally came after the Prime Minister basically called out the London Mayor and others that have focused on tolerance.

Prime Minister is finally calling for an "uncomfortable and difficult conversation about home-grown radical Islamic terrorism" and basically an end to being worried about being "PC".

She wants to rid "safe places" for terrorism in Muslim communities and also the safe places that are well known on the internet but do to PC fears, nothing is done about them.

After the 2nd terrorist attack in London over the last 10 weeks, London's Muslim Mayor called his city "the safest city in the world" and he will not raise the terror level in his city.

One of the dead terrorist with his suicide vests (later determined to be fake).

Many of the eye witness accounts note that the terrorist were yelling "allahu akbar"

Meanwhile, CNN is already tired of hearing about "Radical Islamic Ideology" by the British Prime Minister and CNN Host John King stood in front of a 2016 Presidential Map with final vote totals and talked about the danger of climate change and how Trump's decision to not want to give away future Billions of $$$ to other counties is the REAL dangerous ideology.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe you were among the many people on this board, myself included, who were outraged at Obama for attempting to politicize a tragedy (any one of the many mass shooting that occurred while he was in office, pushing his gun control agenda).

How is Trump's obviously political tweet mere hours after this tragedy to blatantly push his agenda any different?

Please use facts and logic to support your position (translation for Bob: an emoji just means you know you are wrong but don't want to admit it).
 
Mean like in CT were a psycho stole his Mom's unsecured (legally bought) weapons murdered his Mom and the shot up an unarmed/unguarded school?

Or how the Feds under Obama took Pulse Terrorist off their Terror Watch Database, which if he was still on it would have triggered his weapon and ammo purchases, which probably would have stopped the slaughter of so many innocent at Pulse?

Ok, now back to the updates from the latest UK Terror attack.

So a sample of 2 mass shooting out of the 30 odd ones that occurred is good enough? Also how exactly would being on a terrorist watch list keep someone from buying ammo from anywhere or a gun from the private market? Note that I don't agree with such restrictions, but that doesn't mean they couldn't potentially save lives and hence would be a viable political push for Obama, just as Trump is utilizing this latest tragedy to push his political agenda.

Basically your argument is that since you don't agree with Obama's views his politicalization of a tragedy is not OK, but you do agree with Trump's views so his politicalization is ok?

From a metro police press announcement:

8 armed police officers, even though they clearly saw that the 3 terrorist were wearing suicide vests with canisters, moved in and fired 50 shots at the terrorist to ensure they were dead.

36 victim remain in hospitals, including one off duty police officer who was caught up in the attack. 21 victims remain in critical condition.

Some bystanders might have suffered gunshot wounds (none died).

I saw a cringeworthy report that street officers at one point e countered the machete wielding attacks but RAN AWAY since they only had batons.

When will these idiots fully arm their police forces? They are the first line of defense in these situations since they deny their citizens any opportunity to mount their own defense.

Oh PS- we are one week into Ramadan and the count stands

41 attacks
148 dead globally

We are on pace for roughly 400+ people killed before a Ramadan is over

Well, after this 3rd terror attack in 10 weeks in England, it was announced that more of the British Bobbies will be allowed to carry guns but that number is still unclear.

Some of those decisions might hinge on the national election outcome from this Thursday's election.

If they're stupid enough to elect Jeremy Corbourn they they deserve whatever they get.
 
Locals news has been having a lot of talk about regulating the internet to prevent these types of attacks, pretty terrifying stuff. Every attack is a win for them when we limit our own freedoms in response. Flying became an absolute shit show after 9/11 in the name of "safety". What will become of the internet?

I agree that overreach is possible. But at the same time, it's utterly absurd that terrorists can freely organize and plot on social media, with full encryption privacy, AND the investigators often can't access these conversations AFTER they've caried out an attack.

It's not an option to tell anti terorrism intelligence "sorry you can't track their conversations before they murder people and you can't access them after either"
 
Ah yes, more Putin obsession.

Tell me- who did we last make a massive deal with, Iran or Russia? Who is benefiting massively from this deal, Iran or Russia.

Whose militia brigades killed thousands of US troops in Iraq, Iran or Russia?

This is a deal the fraudster you just linked to was supportive of BTW.

so it would have made it better to post Wehner's tweet directly? It's just her quoting him and proving context on who he is

So you are changing your story then? You agree it is obviously wrong for Trump to blatantly politicize this issue for his own personal agenda just as it was wrong for Obama to politicize the many different mass shooting tragedies for his own personal agenda.
