London stabbers shouted ‘this is for Allah’ — reports

Several UK media outlets were reporting Sunday that the attackers in Saturday night’s terrorist car ramming on London Bridge and stabbings at nearby Borough Market shouted “this is for Allah” during the incidents.

One eyewitness shouted the phrase as they stabbed victims indiscriminately, The Telegraph daily reported.

“The men said ‘this is for Allah’ as they left the van and attacked victims. There were definitely three people sitting at the front of the van,” witness Eric Seguenzo told BBC News.

Up to seven people were killed in the attacks.

Prime Minister Theresa May said it was a potential act of terrorism and the Metropolitan Police force said it had declared the attacks as “terrorist incidents.”

The latest incident follows a string of Islamist terrorist attacks to hit the UK in recent years, including two in the last two months.
