AT LEAST SIX DEAD IN A TERRORIST ATTACK IN LONDON

A night of terror and despair in London, the British capital again suffered a terrorist attack just two months after the one at the gates of Parliament. Once again a vehicle, this time a van, rolled over pedestrians on the London Bridge. The occupants then moved with knives to Borough Market, a few meters from the bridge, and began stabbing people. The agents have confirmed that they are dealing with «terrorist acts» with «multiple fatalities». Police have confirmed that six people were killed and 48 wounded, in addition to claiming to have killed three of the suspects within minutes of the attack. No group has yet claimed the act.
One of the police spokesmen, Mark Rowley, has said that security officials believe the three gunmen were the only ones implicated in the attack, although he says investigations continue in the early hours of Sunday. Ambulance services in the city warn that at least 30 patients have been transferred to six hospitals. Meanwhile, dozens of people are waiting to be evacuated after being evacuated.
The first attack would have occurred at 22.15 local time (23.15 in Spain) in London Bridge, where the attack took place. One of the people present indicated that the vehicle came from the center of the city in the direction of the south of the Thames.
A few minutes later, several men carrying knives rushed over the pedants at Borough Market and police responded with shots. The agents alerted midnight of a third incident in Vauxhall, although they have separated it of the previous two. Special counterterrorism forces are located in the London Bridge area. Photographer Gabriele Sciotto caught the image of one of the attackers shot down on the floor, with cans tied to the body «that looked like a belt of explosives,» according to the author of the snapshot. Police confirmed that the bundles of explosives were fake.

Several editors of The Sun newspaper, whose office is on London Bridge Street, say they have heard two explosions near the building and a third in the skyscraper The Shard minutes later. At three o’clock in the morning (Spanish time), an explosion was heard again, although much louder than the previous ones, according to the witnesses. The local media are making progress in dealing with detonations by the police.
The authorities have issued several communiqués in which they recommend following a protocol of action based on three principles: «Run, hide and report». «Call 999 (emergency number) once you are safe to do so,» the agents ask. «The Guardian» reports that dozens of people are in the cordoned off area of London Bridge «desperate to return home». At the moment there are no trains or taxis in the area.
Police have asked witnesses of the attack to provide all the videos and photographs they took on the spot. The agents have made available to the public a portal in which to share all the documents for later revision.

‘The Guardian’ thus collected the testimony of one of the people present during the attack: «They were stabbing people. One of the men with a knife was killing two people. We started yelling at him to stop and threw chairs at him to stop him. Then the police arrived and, directly, shot him. » The BBC indicates that the agents are looking for three suspects in the area.
Another witness, Mark, told a BBC program how he witnessed the moment a white pickup struck a group of people crossing the London Bridge. «I saw a person throw a meter in the air and as far as I could see, there were five or six people lying on the ground. They looked dead or were dying, «said the young man.
The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has asked to follow the account of Metropolitan Police to stay informed. «I want to thank the brave men and women from the emergency services who first came to the area and who will continue to work throughout the night,» added the mayor. «I condemn this attack as effusively as possible. There is no justification for such barbaric acts, «he concluded.
Authorities have reported the closure of the London Bridge Underground station. In addition to the closure of the London Bridge subway line, there have also been train diversions at other stations such as Blackfriars. Bank and Vauxhall stops are back to normal.
