    Following the savage terror attack by Muslims in London in which eight people were killed and another 48 wounded, British police made 25 arrests for “hate crimes.” Meanwhile, 12 potential terrorists arrested in connection with the London attack and 22 arrested in connection with the Manchester attack last month were released without charge. Last week, London’s Metropolitan Police Service tweeted a response to Sadiq Khan, London’s Muslim mayor, agreeing with him that the religion of Islam had nothing to do with the attacks. “We will not tolerate hate crime against anyone. If you are a victim of hate crime please...

    Okay, Megyn has the spotlight and people are listening. The initial reviews are mixed, depending on the reviewer's perspective. The portion of the panel discussion not aired by NBC shows national heads of state that weren't impressed by Kelly and an audience that regarded many of her questions and comments as failed punchlines.

    Katie McHugh, the Breitbart writer who tweeted a number of incendiary remarks in the immediate aftermath of the London terror attack, is no longer with the right-wing news site, four sources familiar with the situation told CNN. Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow announced McHugh's departure internally Monday morning. McHugh had ignited controversy on Saturday night when she wrote on Twitter that "there would be no deadly terror attacks in the U.K. if Muslims didn't live there." "You're a real moron," actor Pej Vahdat replied. "You're an Indian," shot back McHugh, incorrectly identifying the ethnicity of Vahdat, who is Iranian-American. McHugh's comments...

    Op-ed: The British prime minister plainly recognizes the nature of the struggle. Her opponent in Thursday’s elections, Jeremy Corbyn, equally plainly does not. With Britain battered by three terrorist attacks in three months, and its security services having thwarted five more in the same period, Prime Minister Theresa May on Sunday morning set out the specifics of her intended strategy “to take on and defeat our enemies.” May’s succinct and determined statement, delivered hours after three terrorists killed at least seven people in a central London murder spree, raises two questions: Does her government have the will to fight back...

    British Prime Minister Theresa May claimed there was "too much tolerance" of Islamist extremism in the UK as she vowed a clampdown in the wake of the third terror attack to hit the UK this year. Seven people died and 48 were injured when three masked men drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge before leaping out and launching a stabbing spree in nearby bars and restaurants. Police said the three attackers, wearing fake suicide belts to sow further panic, were shot dead within eight minutes of police receiving the first emergency call just after 10 p.m. local time....

    Multiple eyewitnesses said that community police officers fled from Borough Market in London after seeing two men with knives stabbing people as part of a terror attack Saturday. These eyewitnesses told The Guardian’s Lisa O’Carroll that two men started stabbing people outside a restaurant in Borough Market, close to where the first terror attack took place on London Bridge, resulting in multiple fatalities. “I saw two guys with big knives downstairs outside Roast. They were stabbing people,” the eyewitnesses said. Perhaps the most jarring part of the testimony was a report that, instead of running to the stabbing to stop...

Details of the attack remain unclear, but CBS Philadelphia reports that the attackers ran through the restaurant at Borough Market after driving a van into pedestrians on London Bridge. Witnesses said the attackers entered the restaurant yelling “This is for Allah!” and stabbed random Londoners.
