51°30′29″N 0°05′16″W / 51.50806°N 0.08778°W / 51.50806; -0.08778

On 3 June 2017, starting at 22:08 BST, three people carried out a terrorist attack in two locations in central London. The attack began when a white van rammed multiple pedestrians on London Bridge. The van drove on and came to a halt south of the bridge. Three men left the van and ran to Borough Market, where stabbing attacks took place in multiple restaurants. Witnesses reported that the attackers shouted "This is for Allah" and stabbed patrons with knives.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Seven people were killed and 48 injured in the attack.^[4] Three suspects were shot dead by police.^[5] The Metropolitan Police declared the London Bridge and Borough Market attacks to be "terrorist incidents".^[6]^[7]^[8] Multiple explosions subsequently heard near Borough Market were confirmed to be controlled explosions.^[9]

Background

The attack was the third to have taken place in Great Britain since the beginning of 2017. In March 2017, a man killed five people in a combined vehicle and knife attack at Westminster, and 22 people were killed in the Manchester Arena in a May 2017 suicide bombing. Following the latter incident, the UK Threat Level for terrorism in the country was raised to "critical", meaning an attack was "expected imminently", but was reduced back to "severe", meaning an attack was "highly likely", after five days. It stood at "severe" at the time of the June attacks.^[10]

Attack

At around 22:08 BST,^[11] a white Ford Transit van travelling north to south across London Bridge mounted the pavement and hit pedestrians.^[9]^[12] Police began evacuating all buildings within the vicinity of the bridge.^[13] London Bridge station was also closed at the request of the police.^[9] Waterloo East, Charing Cross and Cannon Street stations were also closed.^[14] Police at the cordon confirmed that there had been fatalities.^[4] The Metropolitan Police dispatched boats onto the River Thames, with assistance from the RNLI, to contribute to the evacuation of the area.^[15] A witness reported the attackers shouted "This is for Allah."^[1]^[2]^[3]

After their van crashed outside the Barrow Boy and Banker pub on Borough High Street^[16] the three attackers, wearing fake suicide vests, ran to Stoney Street adjoining Borough Market, where they stabbed four people in the Borough Bistro pub.^[4] The attack occurred shortly after the incident on the bridge.^[17] The pub-goers attempted to defend themselves by throwing bottles, chairs and other items at the attackers.^[18] People in and around a number of other restaurants, including Brindisa, El Pastor, Roast, Black and Blue and the Wheatsheaf pub were also attacked. The three attackers were shot dead by police outside the Wheatsheaf eight minutes after the start of the attack.^[16]

At 01:45 BST on 4 June, there were reports of four explosions at Borough Market. They were confirmed to be controlled explosions.^[9]

Aftermath

The Metropolitan Police asked the public to remain calm and vigilant.^[19] A stabbing incident took place in Vauxhall at 23:45 BST, causing both Bank and Vauxhall stations to be briefly closed.^[20] The stabbing was later confirmed to be unrelated to the terrorist attack.^[21]

An emergency COBRA meeting was held on the morning of 4 June.^[4]^[22]

On the morning of 4 June, police made 12 arrests following raids in flats in the Barking area of east London, where one of the attackers lived.^[23] Four are currently being held.^[24]

Casualties

Seven members of the public and the three attackers were killed. Another 48 people were injured in the attack including one New Zealander, two Australians and four French citizens.^[25]^[26]^[27] An officer from the British Transport Police responding to the attack was stabbed and suffered serious injuries to his head, face and neck.^[28]

Attackers

The three attackers were shot and killed by armed police. Their identities have not yet been released. Police are currently carrying out further investigations to whether anyone else was involved in the attack plot.^[29] On 4 June the Home Secretary Amber Rudd said that "we are confident about the fact that they were radical Islamist terrorists, the way they were inspired, and we need to find out more about where this radicalisation came from."^[30]

Reactions

United Kingdom

Prime Minister Theresa May returned to Downing Street from campaigning for the general election.^[31] May later said the incident was being treated as terrorism,^[4]^[9] and that all three recent attacks were "bound together by the single evil ideology of Islamic extremism".^[32]

The Conservative Party, Labour Party, Liberal Democrats and Scottish National Party suspended national election campaigns for a day after the attack.^[33]^[34]^[35] UKIP chose not to suspend its campaigning; leader Paul Nuttall said it was "what the extremists would want".^[36] Theresa May confirmed that the general election would go ahead as scheduled on 8 June.^[36]

Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Corbyn, Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron, and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan all wrote on Twitter that their thoughts were with those affected and expressed thanks to the emergency services.^[37]^[38]^[39]

In a speech at 10 Downing Street, Theresa May suggested more military intervention abroad, fighting extremism at home, having "embarrassing conversations", and working with Internet companies and liberal democracies to regulate cyberspace and fight extremism online.^[40]^[41]

Other countries

In response to the incident, the leaders of several countries' national governments sent condolences and offers of help, including Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull,^[42] Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,^[43] Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka,^[44] Finnish President Sauli Niinistö,^[45] French President Emmanuel Macron,^[46] German Chancellor Angela Merkel,^[47] Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán,^[48] Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi,^[49] Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif,^[50] Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny,^[51] Italian prime minister Paolo Gentiloni,^[50] Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak,^[52] Romanian President Klaus Iohannis,^[53] Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy,^[50] Russian President Vladimir Putin,^[47] Prime Minister of New Zealand Bill English,^[50] Pope Francis,^[47] and President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker.^[50]

The US President Donald Trump's first reaction to the incident was to retweet a Drudge Report tweet about the incident.^[54] Although he later offered condolences to those affected by the attacks, he was criticised by many in the US and UK for using the attack to support his domestic policies of a travel ban on Muslim-majority nations and gun rights^[55]^[56]^[57]^[54] in a move which the New York Daily News described as "tone deaf".^[58] He also criticised the response of the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan as being too "politically correct" in the aftermath of the attack,^[59]^[60] and UKIP MEP Nigel Farage supported Trump's comments, claiming that Khan was "afraid to offend the Muslim community" and "hidebound by political correctness", adding that "There are quite big areas of east London that have become wholly Muslim areas. ... There are parts of Paris and parts of Brussels that are even worse."^[61]
