UK police question ‘troubled’ anti-Muslim van attacker

LONDON — Police question a man suspected of deliberately mowing down Muslims in London in a Monday van attack on worshipers leaving the Finsbury Park Mosque.

The family of Darren Osborne, the man suspected of deliberately driving into the Muslim group, says he was “troubled,” describing his action as “sheer madness.”

Osborne, 47, a father of four from Cardiff, was arrested.

Police believe he acted alone and searches were being conducted at a residential address in the Welsh capital.

Police are treating the incident as a terror attack and British Prime Minister Theresa May described it as “sickening,” vowing Monday to fight extremism in all its forms.
