2017 London Bridge attack

Uncommon card · No. 78966

On 3 June 2017, a terrorist vehicle-ramming and stabbing attack took place in London, England. A van was deliberately driven into pedestrians on London Bridge, and then crashed on Borough High Street, just south of the River Thames. The van's three occupants then ran to the nearby Borough Market area and began stabbing people in and around restaurants and pubs. They were shot dead by Metropolitan Police and City of London Police firearms officers, and were found to be wearing fake explosive vests. Eight people were killed and forty-eight were injured, including members of the public and four unarmed police officers who attempted to stop the assailants. British authorities described the perpetrators as "radical Islamist terrorists". The Islamic State (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the attack.
