| The attacker, who has not yet been named, was released from prison about a year ago, agreeing to wear an electronic tag as part of his bail conditions, according to a report in the Times. The Ministry of Justice learned of the man’s identity soon after the attack and ordered a review of his case. | |
| Two people were killed and several others injured in the attack, which took place on the London Bridge on Friday afternoon. After a scuffle with police the suspect – who wore a fake suicide vest and was believed to have a gun – was shot and killed. It has been deemed a “terrorist incident.” | |
| Calling the attack “heartbreaking,” Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it was a “mistake to allow serious and violent criminals to come out of prison early,” adding that the courts must enforce the “appropriate sentences” for terrorists and other dangerous felons. | |
