ISIS claimed responsibility for a stabbing attack by a man with a knife on a group of bystanders near the London Bridge on Friday. According to the agency «depths» Daesh.
A 28-year-old man, identified by British authorities as Osman Khan, is suspected to have stabbed two people to death near the London Bridge on Friday before being shot dead by police.
About six bystanders had thrown the suspect to the ground and pulled the knife from him. A video posted on Twitter showed an armed police officer pulling another person away from the man lying on the ground before a police officer carefully pointed his weapon. Soon, two shots were heard, and the man lying on the ground stopped moving.
Khan had previously been convicted of terrorism-related offenses. Khan was released from prison in December 2018, sparking intense debate about the practice.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson inspected the site of the deadly terrorist stabbing attack in London.
Johnson inspected the site along with Home Secretary Pretty Patel, British police chief Cressida Dick and London city police commissioner Ian Dyson.
"It is a mistake to allow dangerous and violent criminals to get out of jail early and it is also very important to get rid of this habit and impose appropriate punishment on dangerous criminals, especially on terrorists," Johnson said before presiding over a Friday evening meeting of the British government's Emergency Committee (Cobra).
Responding to the criticism, the Parole Board issued a statement on Saturday saying it was not involved in the release of the attacker, "who appears to have been released automatically on conditions (as required by law) without going back to the council."
`` This person was known to the authorities and convicted in 2012 for terrorist crimes. He was released from prison in December 2018 on clear terms and conditions.
