On Sunday night the worshippers were leaving a mosque in London when a van ploughed into the worshippers in an act of terrorism. One worshipper was killed and 10 others were seriously injured, many others were slightly injured.
The target was the worshippers at the Finsbury Park Mosque which is one of the biggest mosque in UK. The attacker tried to flee the area after raising slogans ‘I am going to kill all Muslims.’

48 year old driver was caught and handed over to police, it is believed that he is a native with islamophobic and nationalistic views.
Eye witness Abdulrahman said the attacker was trying to flee the spot after shouting I am going to kill all Muslims. He punched him in the stomach and then other people helped him to stop the attacker from fleeing until the police arrived.
#London: It's 100% clear that the driver wanted to kill Muslims after they left the mosque and hired a van to do that. It's a terror attack!

Another witness Usain Ali said that I thought it was a car accident but after the screaming and chasing I realized it was an intentional attack.
