British police reveal names of London attackers, say one investigated before

"The attack began at about 10 p.m., local time, when a van crossing London Bridge veered into pedestrians, crashing outside the Barrowboy & Banker Pub".

Trump's tweet renews his mischaracterization of Khan's statement to London residents following a vehicle and knife attack that left seven people dead and dozens injured.

Later Sunday, Lew Lukens, chargé d'affaires ad interim of the U.S. Embassy in London, contradicted Trump and tweeted that London's response to the attack was "extraordinary" while praising Khan's leadership.

During a police raid on Sunday at an apartment owned by one of attackers, 12 people were arrested in connection with the murders.

The sister of 32-year-old James McMullan, from Hackney, east London, said he was believed to be among those who died, after his bank card was found on a body at the scene.

"We want Facebook to be a hostile environment for terrorists", he said.

Another commuter, Jose Diaz, posted: "Waterloo Bridge this morning".

A French national was also killed in Saturday night's attack but has not yet been named.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said she wouldn't release further details in what she described as a fast-moving investigation.

"We can not allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed", May said. I can't be alone and what makes this worse is to know that Sara was with me when she went missing.

Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway on Monday condemned what she called the media's "obsession with covering everything he says on Twitter and very little of what he does as president".

Choate acknowledges that people traumatized by such events face an uphill emotional struggle - one that can last for years -but he has some professional advice for those trying to cope.

The Express newspaper said it had decided not to name "Abz", but that he had appeared in a television documentary posing with an Islamic State flag. "One of them had been reported to police because of his extremist views and may have previously been confronted by officers".

The ringleader of the London attack has been revealed as an ex-Tube, KFC and Topshop worker, known as Abz.

After the attack, Khan told Londoners not to be alarmed at the increased police presence in the city.

The country's official terror threat level had been set at "critical" in the parlous days after the Manchester concert bombing on May 22 that killed 22 people - reflecting a judgment that an attack might be imminent because accomplices with similar bombs might be on the loose. "I condemn this terrorist act but also the poisonous ideology these men and others follow".

Ferguson's parents and his best friend were with him in London Monday, family said.

During that time, police numbers have dropped by roughly 20,000 officers, and the number of armed officers has fallen as well.

May tried to deflect the pressure onto Corbyn, a pacifist who has opposed some security legislation in parliament and expressed reservations in the past about police responding to armed attackers with "shoot-to-kill" tactics.
