Here we go again. We try not to jump to conclusions when we see attacks that fit the description of a terror attack until we get confirmed information, but, in this case it fit perfectly.
From the New York Post:
A man accused of stabbing to death two people and injuring three more in London has a previous conviction for an “Islamist terrorism-related offense” — and was wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet when he carried out Friday’s attack, according to a report.
But that’s not all:
The madman, whose name has not yet been released, was sprung from prison about a year ago after agreeing to electronic monitoring, per the report, which cites anonymous government sources.
He was in the area of the London Bridge because he was due to speak at an event at Fishmonger’s Hall, where he was scheduled to share his experience as a rehabilitated man, the Times reports.
AND he was wearing a fake suicide vest at the time too! Just incredible.
Here’s another account from the Times in the U.K.:
The man who carried out yesterday’s attack at London Bridge was identified by police as Usman Khan, a former prisoner who had been jailed for terrorism offences.
Neil Basu, Scotland Yard’s assistant commissioner, said that Khan was “known to authorities” after being convicted in 2012. He had also been fitted with an electronic tag to monitor his movement since being released from prison on licence in December 2018.
Khan, who was from Stoke-on-Trent, was arrested in 2010 in a major counterterrorism operation, alongside eight others who formed an al-Qaeda-inspired terror cell.
The men were charged with plotting to bomb the London Stock Exchange and planning to build a terrorist training camp in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir, on land owned by Khan’s family.
Insanity.
When is Europe going to wake up about this threat? I honestly don’t have a lot of hope because even the people on the right over there are pretty socialist when compared to the party split over here. But how many more attacks will it take before they wake up about this threat?
Here’s a bunch of videos of the cops taking down the scumbag from different eyewitnesses:
