A van ploughed into worshippers outside a mosque in London on Sunday night, killing one person and injuring eight people in what London's mayor described as "a horrific terrorist attack".

Officers arrested one man after they were called shortly after midnight to the incident on Seven Sisters Road, near Finsbury Park station.

One man died and eight people were taken to hospital, Scotland Yard said. The 48-year-old driver was arrested by police after being detained by members of public at the scene.

The London Ambulance Service said eight people were taken to hospital and a number of people were treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Pure evil stupidity.

The only people happy with this will be ISIS whose mantra has always been to"divide and conquer".

We start fighting amongst ourselves and we lose this war.

The van which drove into worshippers near a north London mosque belongs to a Welsh hire firm.


One man has died and 10 people have been injured after a van mounted a pavement near Finsbury Park Mosque.
Forensics officers are examining a white van which has Pontyclun Van Hire on it - a Rhondda Cynon Taff firm.
The van driver, a 48-year-old man, has been arrested and Home Secretary Amber Rudd said police were treating it "as a terrorist incident".


Just after midnight BST, the van hit people who were helping a man who had collapsed in the street. He later died, but his cause of death is unclear.
Police said all the victims were Muslim and the 48-year-old was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
South Wales Police officers arrived at Pontyclun Van Hire just after 07:30 BST on Monday.
A member of staff at the company said: "We are not saying anything, we don't know anything at the moment."

I don't think terrorist attack should be in inverted commas. It is one, plain and simple.

Islam is not a race, you and I could decide to become a muslim for example. It was not racist.

Attacking muslims for their beliefs is just as much a terror attack as radical Muslims attacking westerners/non muslims for theirs.

Correct.

At the moment we don't know the background. However, if this nutter was part of/influenced by right wing extremists then it's exactly the same as the Muslim extremists.

Finsbury Park mosque has an history of extremism. The shithole should have been shut down years ago.

So so sad. I was up last night due to the heat watching Sky News at 3.00am and saw a different reaction by the" locals" being interviewed to that shown on the various morning news programmes. I guess the footage was too edgy to be shown on daytime TV. There were lots of rants about white terrorists being allowed to do terrible things like this and how the THREE attackers were armed with knives and stabbing people (all not true) and why were they allowed to get away with it in this day and age. Lets hope we all calm down and stand together and show whatever your ethnic/cultural background if a country is worth living in then it's worth respecting both it's laws and culture, as already said ISIS and hate preachers want to divide us, they can both get stuffed.

Totally correct. This is not a war between Muslims and Westerners or Black against White. This is a war, like all wars, of Hate against Hate, between extremists with an agenda and ordinary people. The more we pander to the extremists agenda the more we support them.

I'm astonished this hasn't happened before. There have been a string of attacks by Muslims and people's patients is wearing thin. It's all well and good saying we should 'stand together' and not let people 'divide' us but when there's one Muslim terrorist attack after another people are going to think about striking back.

Who ever carried out this attack will be severely punished and all those connected with him will be brought to justice. In other words we sort out our dirty washing. The Muslim community have to start doing their bit by rooting out bad in their communities.

For too long they have got away with playing the victim card and that has to change.

Well I don't agree with YOU!

The guy in pictures looks a complete nutter and having supported City for years I've met quite a few!

If he turns out to be a sofisticated well motivated terrorist then I will change my opinion.

Trouble is that sounds dangerously close to appeasement which has failed every time it has been tried.

There is nothing to agree or disagree with. He was clearly targeting muslims (not a race) due to their beliefs and the recent heavily politicised attacks. It is terrorism by definition. Terrorism has nothing to do with sophistication.

Terrorism
ˈtɛrərɪzəm/
noun
the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

If he turns out to be Welsh, then naturally, he is representative of all Welsh people.

Obviously cos one Welsh person committed a terrorist attack, all Welsh people are terrorists.

I fully expect Welsh societies around the world to release statements condemning his actions. If not, we must assume that they were in favour. Right?

Your sympathy and concern for the victims is touching.

Finsbury Park Mosque was associated with Al Quaida radicals before 2005. Since 2005, under new leadership, it has been used as an exemplar of tolerance, inter-faith co-operation, and challenges to radicalisation.

It's emphatically not appeasement in fact it's the opposite. Appeasement is giving in to the terrorists by fighting fire with fire which plays exactly into their hands. The only way to defeat this evil is to stand shoulder to shoulder and root out the evil purpertrators. They play on our fears, we cannot let them win.

well all the perpertrators of recent attacks have either been killed or caught so rooting them out is out of the question especially as none seemed to be part of a wider well organised plot..and the next one is going to be as random as the previous attacks. i dont know about not playing into their hands either..barriers have gone up..police are now vissibly armed at large events..and our inteligence services along with the police are both spending lots of money and lots of time trying to figure out who and where next time. London Bridge saw 3 terrorists shot dead in 8 minutes,this suggests to me we have quick response armed teams at what the authorities deem likely hot spots...we are already responding.
