UK police have identified a man who stabbed two people to death near London Bridge as Usman Khan, who was convicted in 2012 of 'terrorism offenses” and released last year. He was shot dead by police.

A person is assisted after falling when Police evacuated people from Borough Market on the south side of London Bridge in London, Friday, Nov. 29, 2019. British police say several people have stabbed near to London Bridge, and a man has been detained. The news came after witnesses reported hearing gunshots in the area.

Health officials said one of the injured was in critical but stable condition, one was stable and the third had less serious injuries. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he had “long argued” that it was a “mistake to allow serious and violent criminals to come out of prison early.” Metropolitan Police counterterrorism chief Neil Basu said the suspect appeared to be wearing a bomb vest but it turned out to be “a hoax explosive device.”

Video images showed people spraying the fleeing suspect with a fire extinguisher, while another passer-by held what appeared to be a long white stick. Witness Amy Coop, who was at the Fishmongers’ Hall, said it was a narwhal tusk the man had grabbed from a wall before going to confront the attacker. Another bus passenger, Amanda Hunter, told the BBC that the vehicle “all of a sudden stopped and there was commotion and I looked out the window and I just saw these three police officers going over to a man.”

Could this be a message to the London Mayor from the Met ?

He was Pakistani!

WTF Released from prison. First Brexit now this. The Brits are Nuts

Convicted, and later released. Not deported? Looks like the UK and our Democrats have a lot in common.

HeyTammyBruce HE'S NOT DEAD!!!

Must be from the religion of peace.

Well, bye!!!

And the guardian would have you believe white men are the problem.

Aloha Snackbar

Why was he released? Terrorists don’t change.

Ooooh ,happens everyday

Was it the mayor ?

Think London Bridge has cost Jeremy Corbyn the vote....

God bless Londoners.

hanneloremorto5 Did the Lord Mayor feel sad. The terrorist was killed real dead.

❤️'s go out to the TOTAL brave members of the public who went head first at this coward 👍's to services who dealt with the coward instantly. Proud to be a Londoner tonight. bringitonterrorists

Cover of time magazine ? Maybe titled thoughtful treatment of enemy combatants

Convicted of terrorism and allowed to roam among the free... Well “free” as in those who can’t carry guns or knives. What an absolute joke London has become.

HeyTammyBruce Any realstion to the Mayor?

Hell yes, light that POS up

A terroriste released after half sentence? We are all so stupid.

HeyTammyBruce But AP has it’s Diversity!

Sadiq Khan the mayor maybe related to terrorist Usman Khan.

HeyTammyBruce That will save money!

HeyTammyBruce Seems like shooting him dead would have been a better option the first time.

Someone in the parole board and judiciary should be losing their job tomorrow

The judge who ordered the release of this terrorist must be brought to trial

Now go get his group of friends:

HeyTammyBruce How'd being sympathetic to terrorists work out?

HeyTammyBruce Those bloody Irish....

HeyTammyBruce Was it the Amish again?

wow, I was really betting on a white Christian... What a surprise.

HeyTammyBruce Good! We don’t have to worry about him returning to do it again

HeyTammyBruce His name is Khan. KHAN. That's like if 'Joe de Blasio' attacked pedestrians in Times Square.

HeyTammyBruce Damn Catholics!

HeyTammyBruce Must've been the mayor's brother..

liamstack Enemy combatants should not be treated like criminals.

HeyTammyBruce Glad the cops shot him dead. Shame they didn't do that in 2012! Two INNOCENT people would be alive today.

HeyTammyBruce Those open borders seem to be really working out

Yeah, I think the learning curve is... “stop releasing terrorists” maybe?

HeyTammyBruce Khan, what a coincidence.

He originally got an Indeterminate Prison Sentence to protect the public (IPP) but it was overturned by the Court of Appeal in 2013 and replaced with a 16 yr sentence. He was released by parole board on his first parole application after serving half his sentence. Ridiculous

But knives are ba.....

Catch and release for terrorists is probably not a good idea.

The real question is why can’t the mayor get something done about this insane knife crime. Nobody needs a blade. Shouldn’t even be an option. Smh.

The knife-wielding terrorist had links to Islamist terror groups

Love a dead shitCunt terrorist...LondonBridge

Well, that came back to bite ya in the butt!

Two more needless deaths...

Suicide of the west...
