Russell Square knife attack: Everything we know so far
aol.co.uk ^

Posted on 08/04/2016 3:19:04 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Here is what we know so far:

A man targeted six people with a knife in Russell Square, central London, at around 10.30pm on Wednesday night.

A woman, believed to have been in her 60s, was fatally stabbed and pronounced dead at the scene.

A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Two women and three men suffered "various injuries" in the attack, with two remaining in hospital and the other three discharged.

*snip*

Counter-terrorism officers are supporting the investigation into the incident, while Scotland Yard said early indications suggest mental health "was a factor". In an earlier statement police had said that terrorism was "one line of inquiry being explored".

The attack raises fears of IS targeting people with mental health problems to inspire them to carry out such incidents.

*snip*

The official threat level from international terrorism currently stands at severe - indicating that an attack is highly likely.

Eyewitness Zuhair Awartani saw the attacker arrested and told the BBC: "He was like African... a dark-skinned man... late 20s probably."

“early indications suggest mental health “was a factor”.

The insanity is the result of centuries of cousins marrying cousins.

Every day we are hit with the reality that you can go about your daily life minding your own business and then God decides it is time for you to go. It used to be just accidents or health reasons with the occasional murder but now it is terrorism every day.

Looked like they flooded the streets with every agency available in Great Britian...men in biological suits, forensic people etc.

Strange assembly, imo.

They left the body there for an extraordinarily long time too it seems. Strange.

I don’t know. I put it in breaking when you mentioned it and the mods pulled it out.

Weird. Two American are victims, assuming the reports are correct.

“A Norwegian of Somali origin,” say the spokesmen. The terrorist infests the host country. He is no more a part of that country than a virus is a part of the human body. His characteristics are what they are. In this case, he’s a Somali.

A clear case of terrorism by a Somali. It’s a breaking news story all right. The MSM doesn’t want it to spoil their narrative. That is our task.

***IS targeting people with mental health problems***

Moslems marrying their first cousin for 1400 years does cause mental problems.

Why do you think that Islam is spread to the black culture through the prison system?

Per the Daily Mail: Now the police are saying “spontaneous and random.” As if they knew.

Islam's inherent violence and hatred appeals to angry, violent men.

They still need time to get pictures of Brevik and Trump on the perp’s Facebook page before revealing name.

Though Sadiq Khan is the mayor of the tiny City of London, it is my understanding that the entire London Metro Police report to him.

This is the first case to see if he does the job of deflecting and obfuscation incumbent upon muslim leaders re: terrorism.

[They left the body there for an extraordinarily long time too it seems.]

It’s pretty common over there, they would do open heart surgery in the streets if they could.

It’s because of the terrible health system over there. The first medical responders are probably the best care the patient is going to get.
