Breaking news...broken world. 😞

So sad to be part of a civilisation that so often shows it is far from civilised, where any one person or group of people feel they have any right to take the lives of others. 😞

Just watching breaking news on BBC1 on this incident. It's making me feel sick and not just because I live in central London.

I just can't understand people of whatever faith, nationality, colour, political persuasion who feel that the only way to get their point of view across is by killing innocent people.

My heart goes out to the families of those injured and killed.

What a sick and dangerous world we are living in.

Three of the injured were French schoolchildren who were on a visit to London as a break from the atrocities in their own country http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/22/london-terror-attack-french-school-children-feared-among-victims/

Dear God French schoolchildren wishing to escape the atrocities in France get caught up in a London atrocity. How very very sad.

The last I heard 20 some seriously injured. 4 dead - one the policeman who was stabbed, 2 innocent passersby and the fanatic who took a car and deliberately mowed down innocent people.

Forgive me but I won't mourn the murderer he deserved what he got.

Pity I reserve for the innocent people injured, the dead, and their families.

@Glory1 From the pictures I saw of the policemen surrounding the attacker. I was wondering if they would pull the trigger on him permanently but he died from his earlier gunshot wounds

Well @Anonymous I've no doubt they were sorely tempted to do just that but fortunately they are better than the attacker. Unlike this fanatic who thought it okay to drive a car on a crowded pavement and mow down innocent people.

I really don't care whst his religious beliefs were nothing, nothing justifies what he did.

I am not religious but I do respect, and even admire, those who are whatever their religion. If these fanatics truly believed in God they would know no religion justifies murder and that includes Islam. And the deaths of the policeman and the 2 others hit by the car was murder pure and simple.

On ITV news tonight they showed a live stream of the Eiffel Tower turning black as a mark of respect for the atrocities. (It turns dark at approximately 6 minutes)

sickening, shocking, frightening ... & ... it's all getting too close to home ...

My thoughts are with the loved ones of those killed / injured / at the scene(s) of these atrocities

Re: Suspected terror attempt in London

From the report it seems no one was injured as the army and the police - both on high alert after last year - managed to stop him before he could maim or kill more innocent people.

The question is are there more such 'attacks' to come in other cities? And was this also orchestrated by ISIS who have claimed responsibility for the carnage in London yesterday?
