On 3 June 2017 a terrorist attack took place in the Southwark district of London, England. Three men drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge. Wielding knives, the men then left the van and went to the nearby Borough Market area, where they stabbed people in and around restaurants and pubs. The Home Secretary Amber Rudd and Prime Minister Theresa May confirmed that the attackers were believed to be "radical Islamist terrorists".[6]

Seven people were killed and 48 were wounded, including four unarmed police officers who attempted to tackle the assailants. The three attackers wore fake explosive vests and were shot dead by police.

Background

See also: Terrorism in the United Kingdom

The attack was the third terrorist attack in Great Britain in 2017. In March, five people were killed in a combined vehicle and knife attack at Westminster. In late May, a suicide bomber killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena.[7]

Attack

Map of the course of the attack

At 21:58 BST (UTC+1) on 3 June 2017, a white van travelling south across London Bridge mounted the pavement and hit pedestrians.[8][9][10] After their van crashed outside the Barrowboy and Banker pub on Borough High Street,[11] the three attackers, wearing fake explosive vests, ran to Stoney Street adjoining Borough Market, where they stabbed four people in the Borough Bistro pub.[12] The attack occurred shortly after the incident on the bridge.[13] Some pub-goers attempted to defend themselves by throwing bottles, chairs and other items.[14]

People in and around a number of other restaurants, including Brindisa, El Pastor, Roast, Black and Blue and the Wheatsheaf pub, were also attacked. A witness reported the attackers shouted "This is for Allah."[15][16][17] Florin Morariu, a Romanian baker, hit one of the attackers over the head with a crate before giving shelter to 20 people inside Bread Ahead, a bakery in the market.[18] The three attackers were shot dead by armed officers from the Metropolitan and City of London Police outside the Wheatsheaf eight minutes after the initial 999 emergency call was made.[11] A total of 46 rounds were fired by three City of London and five Metropolitan police officers.[19]

The Metropolitan Police declared the attack a terrorist incident.[20][21][22]

Aftermath

The Metropolitan Police asked the public to run and hide from an attack,[23] and to remain calm and vigilant.[24] All buildings within the vicinity of the bridge were evacuated,[25] and London Bridge, Borough and Bank tube stations were closed at the request of the police.[26] Waterloo East, Charing Cross and Cannon Street mainline stations were also closed.[27] The Home Secretary approved the deployment of an SAS counterterrorist unit from 22nd SAS Regiment, transported by No. 658 Squadron AAC.[28] The unit was flown in to London Bridge to support the Metropolitan Police, as at that time, there were concerns that there might be more attackers at large.[29]

The Metropolitan Police Marine Policing Unit dispatched boats on the River Thames, with assistance from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), to contribute to the evacuation of the area and look for possible casualties fallen from the bridge.[30] At 01:45 BST on 4 June, controlled explosions took place to make safe the attackers' bomb vests, which were found to be fake.[9]

A stabbing incident took place in Vauxhall at 23:45 BST, causing Vauxhall station to be briefly closed.[31] The stabbing was later confirmed to be unrelated to the terrorist attack.[32]

An emergency COBRA meeting was held on the morning of 4 June.[12][33] London Bridge mainline and Underground stations remained closed throughout 4 June,[34] while Borough tube station reopened that evening. A large cordon was established around the scene of the attack and it was expected that the closed bridge and roads would result in substantial disruption on 5 June.[35] London Bridge station was reopened at 05:00 on 5 June.[36]

Seven members of the public, including an Australian[39], a Canadian and a French citizen,[40] were killed, as were the three attackers. Another 48 people were injured in the attack including one New Zealander, four Australians, two Germans[41] and four French citizens; of the 48 injured, 21 were hospitalised in critical condition.[9][42][43][44]

Four police officers were injured in the attack. An unarmed officer from the British Transport Police was stabbed and suffered serious injuries to his head, face and neck.[45] An off-duty Metropolitan Police officer also tried to tackle the attackers and was seriously injured when he was stabbed.[46] Two other Metropolitan Police officers received head and arm injuries.[47]

One member of the public was accidentally shot by police and sustained a non-life-threatening injury to the head.[9]

Attackers

On 4 June, the Home Secretary Amber Rudd said that "We are confident about the fact that they were radical Islamic terrorists, the way they were inspired, and we need to find out more about where this radicalisation came from."[6] Later that day, Amaq News Agency, an online outlet associated with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), said the attackers were ISIS fighters.[48]

On 5 June the Metropolitan Police identified two of the attackers as Khuram Shazad Butt (born 20 April 1990), a British citizen born in Pakistan, and Rachid Redouane (born 31 July 1986), who claimed to be either Moroccan or Libyan and who was not previously known to police.[49][50] On 6 June, the third attacker was named as Youssef Zaghba, (born 1995 Fez, Morocco) Italian national of Moroccan descent.[51] In March 2016, Italian officers stopped Zaghba at Bologna airport and found IS-related materials on his mobile phone. He was then stopped from continuing his journey to Istanbul.[52]

Butt was a 27-year-old whose family came from Jhelum, Pakistan, but who grew up in Britain and lived in Plaistow. He was an associate of the banned extremist group al-Muhajiroun, which has been linked with other terrorist suspects in the UK. He worked on the London transport system and had a wife and two children. He was well known for holding extreme views and was barred from two local mosques. In 2016, he appeared in a Channel 4 Television documentary The Jihadis Next Door, which showed him arguing with police over the unfurling of a Jihadist Black Standard in Regent's Park.[53] According to a friend, he had been radicalised by the YouTube videos of American[54][55] Muslim cleric Ahmad Musa Jibril.[56][57][58]

Investigation

On the morning of 4 June, police made twelve arrests following raids in flats in the Barking area of east London, where one of the attackers lived;[59] controlled explosions were carried out during the raids.[60] Those held included five males aged between 27 and 55, arrested at one address in Barking, and six females aged between 19 and 60, arrested at a separate Barking address. One of the arrested males was subsequently released without charge. Four properties were being searched, including two in Newham in addition to the two in Barking.[61] Further raids and arrests were made at properties in Newham and Barking early on the morning of 5 June.[62] As of 5 June 2017, all 12 people who had been arrested in relation to the attack had been released without charge.[63]

Reactions

Prime Minister Theresa May returned to Downing Street from campaigning for the general election.[64] May later said the incident was being treated as terrorism,[12][9] and that the recent terror attacks in the UK are "bound together by the single evil ideology of Islamist extremism" which "is a perversion of Islam". She called for tighter internet regulations to "deprive the extremists of their safe spaces online", saying that technology firms were not currently doing enough.[65][66] May's stance on the role of the internet and social media in enabling radicalisation was criticised by the Open Rights Group and The International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence.[67]

The Leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, the Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron and the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan all wrote on Twitter that their thoughts were with those affected and expressed thanks to the emergency services.[68][69][70] Khan described the attack as "deliberate and cowardly" and condemned it "in the strongest possible terms".[71] He later said that "the city remains one of the safest in the world" and there was "no reason to be alarmed" over the increased police presence around the city.[72] The last comment was criticised by US President Donald Trump on Twitter, who tweeted out that "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!'";[72][73] and used the attacks to support his "travel ban" and added "Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That's because they used knives and a truck!".[74] Trump's initial comments were seen as a misrepresentation of Khan's remarks by a spokesman for Khan, as well as former Vice President of the United States Al Gore, Geroge W. Bush's senior Europe adviser Damon Wilson,[74] and Prime Minister Theresa May said that "Sadiq Khan is doing a good job and it is wrong to say anything else".[72]

The Conservative Party, Labour Party, Liberal Democrats and Scottish National Party suspended national election campaigns for a day after the attack.[75][76] UKIP chose not to suspend its campaigning; leader Paul Nuttall said it was "what the extremists would want".[77] May confirmed that the general election would go ahead as scheduled on 8 June.[77] The BBC cancelled or postponed a number of political programmes due to air on 4 June.[78]

Harun Khan, the secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, also condemned the attack.[79][80] More than 130 imams condemned the attackers and refused to perform Islamic burials to them. They also said in a statement that the terrorists do not represent Islam.[81]

Condolences, expressions of shock, support, solidarity and sympathy were offered by many national governments and supranational bodies.[a]

The friend told the BBC's Asian Network that the terrorist had been radicalised watching videos of the infamous American hate preacher Ahmad Musa Jibril. He said: "We spoke about a particular attack that happened and like most radicals he had a justification for anything and everything and that day I 
realised I needed to contact the authorities." He added: "He used to listen to a lot of Musa Jibril. I have heard some of this stuff and its very radical. I am surprised this stuff is still on YouTube and is easily accessible. I phoned the anti-terror hotline. I spoke to the gentleman. I told him about our conversation and why I think he was radicalised." However, he said he was not arrested and was allowed to keep his passport. "I did my bit, I know a lot of other people did their bit, but the authorities did not do their bit," the friend said.
