Theresa May on London Mosque Attack: As Sickening' as Other Terror Plots on Capital

UK Prime Minister Theresa May says the attack on a London mosque is "every bit as sickening" as te

rror plots that have struck the capital in recent months.

Speaking outside her Downing Street residence, Mrs May said the attack was "a reminder that terrorism, extremism and hatred take many forms and our determination to tackle them must be the same, whoever is responsible".

The attack "targeted the ordinary and the innocent... this time British Muslims as they left the mosque," she said, adding that police would provide any additional protection needed for mosques.

"This was an attack on Muslims near their place of worship and like all terrorism, in whatever form, it shares the same fundamental goal: it seeks to drive us apart," she said.

One person was killed and eight people were taken to hospital and two others were treated at the scene after the van ploughed into pedestrians on Seven Sisters Road, near the Finsbury Park Mosque.
