Eight People Arrested After London Attack
23rd March 2017
“It is still our belief – which continues to be borne out by our investigation – that this attacker acted alone and was inspired by international terrorism,” said Mark Rowley, Scotland Yard’s acting deputy commissioner, according to BBC. “To be explicit, at this stage we have no specific information about further threats to the public.”
That’s the point. One never knows when some random Muslim will decide that killing random people is what God wants him to do.
Prime Minister Theresa May confirmed the suspect is a British citizen who’s been investigated by Britain’s domestic security agency MI5 for his ties to violent extremism. He was considered a “peripheral” figure on the current intelligence picture.
Oh, that’s a comfort. Funny how these ‘lone wolves’ are always people who have ‘been investigated’ and then dismissed by the ‘domestic security agency’.
“We are not afraid and our resolve will never waiver in the face of terrorism,” May told the parliament. “He was not part of the current intelligence picture.”
Here’s a hint: MAYBE HE OUGHT TO BE. MAY BE YOUR CURRENT INTELLIGENCE PICTURE IS LACKING SOMETHING.
