LONDON: Three assailants stabbed passers-by at random after smashing into pedestrians in a van, killing six people in a "terror attack" in a popular night-life hub in London before armed police shot all three dead.
As they rampaged through the bars around London Bridge on Saturday night, the trio wore what looked like suicide vests which turned out to be "hoaxes", said Mark Rowley, head of counter-terrorism policing.
"We believe that six people have died in addition to the three attackers shot dead by police" in what is being treated as a "terrorist incident", Rowley said.
