London Bridge: Who was the attacker?
By Daniel De Simone BBC News



Police have named the London Bridge attacker as Usman Khan, who was previously jailed for his part in a plot to bomb the city's stock exchange.

Khan, 28, was out on licence from prison when he killed two people and injured three others in the stabbing attack on Friday, before he was shot dead by armed police.

He had been living in Stafford since being released from prison on licence last December, the BBC has been told.

I think it is a wonderful thing that people are starting to fight back.

It's that or be killed, anyway.

It's like being on an airplane and some SOB decides they are going to commandeer the aircraft.

After 9/11, we get it.

It's no longer a case of do what they say and wait for the pros to come in,

It's a case of if they get control, you die. Effit, I'd just a soon go fighting as meekly sitting in my seat.

This is interesting and... Drudge Report has a few more of these sideline stories:

How the London Bridge terror attack began at a prisoner rehabilitation event

By David Mercer, news reporter

Terror returned to the streets of London on Friday as two members of the public were killed and several others injured in a knife attack.

Convicted terrorist Usman Khan, who carried out the deadly rampage, was shot dead by officers after civilians bravely intervened to tackle him on London Bridge.

Here's how the attack unfolded:

https://nypost.com/2019/11/30/london-bridge-stabber-belonged-to-jihadist-group-that-admired-hitler-plotted-to-bomb-us-embassy/

At the time of Friday’s attack, Pakistan native Usman Khan, 28, had been free a year after serving just half of a 16-year sentence for plotting with eight others in 2010 to bomb such London landmarks as the stock exchange, American embassy, and Westminster Abbey.

Right, why was he out in the first place, had an electronic tag on him. etc.

Here is some video of this Usman Khan who carried out the attack talking. English accent for darn sure.

Wild to hear this guy talk and say this, the day after that terrible event. Scouser/Liverpool type of accent I would believe.

Should have never been released.

Here, from the Huffington Post of all places, an article about the Polish Chef (btw, some Poles might have to worry about staying in the UK in some forms of BREXIT).

Man Armed With Narwhal Tusk Among Those Who Battled London Bridge Attacker
A Polish chef chased the knife-wielding man with his makeshift spear alongside two other brave bystanders.

In some pictures, Priti Patel, discussed below, she reminds me a tiny bit of Tulsi Gabbard. I just saw an article somewhere too, that perhaps, down the line, she could become Prime Minister:

Priti Patel blames Labour for law that meant release of ‘dangerous terrorists’
By Catherine Wylie and Jess Glass, PA

The Home Secretary has blamed a previous Labour government after Yvette Cooper asked how the London Bridge attacker could have been released when he was deemed so dangerous.

Priti Patel took to Twitter to respond to Labour’s Ms Cooper, who had posted a series of tweets asking questions about Usman Khan’s release, and the minister also then tweeted Jeremy Corbyn about the issue.

London Bridge jihadi was released after asking for deradicalization course to be “good British citizen”
By Atlas Shrugs - on November 30, 2019
 

I have long written on the inherent failures of jihad deradicalization programs. They are doomed to failure because they do not address the root cause, the motive for holy war – Islamic texts and teachings.

These counter terror and “deradicalization” programs are nothing more than charters for surrender. Of all the absurd and ludicrous responses by leftist elites to the jihad threat, “deradicalization” ranks as the most inane. How can a program claim to address the ideological motive behind acts of war without addressing the ideology? These absurd programs are based on the idea that Islam is a Religion of Peace, and that jihad terrorists are misunderstanding it. But this is false, so the programs are a failure.

The only deradicalization center in France, for example, was closed down because of the high failure rate, which was foredoomed since it was never going to deal with motive.

Do the "protectors" of this country know anything about Taqiyya? 

[XenaLee]

Do the "protectors" of this country know anything about Taqiyya? 

There's no cure for stupidity.   And political correctness is just one (sometimes deadly) form of that stupidity.   Nice that the idiots that gave this jihadist a "break" can feel good about themselves for being so....

humane.   Not nice for the victims, however. 

We have this same type of PC stupidity rampant among US parole boards.   They should all be 'held accountable' for the disastrous decisions they make.

[Wingnut]

The real truth was he was released under a 2008 law passed by the Labour party that reduced inmate sentences by half.  There was no parole hearing and it didn't mater if he did or didn't complete a radicalization course.  That law was changed several years ago but since he was "Grandfathered" he was released after serving 8 of his 16 years.

[TomSea]

This is real interesting as well.

Six of Usman Khan's fellow jihadist plotters have ALSO been freed

Two terrorist plotters who were jailed along with London Bridge attacker Usman Khan in 2012 have also been freed from prison, it has emerged.

Mohammad Shahjahan and Nazam Hussain were among the nine jihadists, along with Khan, in an al-Qaeda-inspired cell which plotted to blow up the London Stock Exchange.

Shahjahan, Hussain and Khan were initially handed indefinite prison terms, but won an appeal in 2013 which changed them to fixed sentences.

London Bridge attacker Usman Khan’s jihadi pal arrested amid copycat fears
By Lee Brown
December 2, 2019

A jihadi associate of London Bridge killer Usman Khan has been arrested by British police amid fears of copycat attacks, according to reports.

Nazam Hussain, 34, was a member of a terror cell alongside Khan that saw them jailed in 2012 for plotting Mumbai-style attacks on London landmarks — and then released early thanks to controversial laws.

Hussain was busted Saturday — the day after Khan, 28, killed two in central London — as police raided his home in Stoke-on-Trent on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts, according to The Times of London. ...

Has it occurred to anyone else that the British Bobbies were unarmed for hundreds of years,and didn't need to start arming themselves until the UK started importing Muslims?

Gee,I wonder if there is some sort of connection to be made there?

Stopping the Next London Bridge Attack: How to Reduce Risks Posed by Terror Parolees
December 3, 2019 Anne Speckhard

This past week a deadly stabbing attack occurred in London carried out by 28-year-old Usman Khan, a released prisoner who had been convicted in 2012 on terrorism offenses. Khan had been imprisoned on a 16-year sentence for his part in an al-Qaeda-inspired plot to blow up the London Stock Exchange and other major London sites, including the U.S. Embassy. He was automatically released last year, without his case ever being reviewed by a parole board, after serving only seven of his 16 years.

Now, one year after his release, Khan, who was required to attend a program to help rehabilitate prisoners, went on a rampage. He stabbed several people, killing two, and wounding more, while also brandishing what turned out to be a fake suicide vest. Ironically, he carried out his attack during a rehabilitation program event. That he had the vest prepared ahead of time makes it clear it was not a spontaneous outburst, or sudden loss of control, but a premeditated attack.

It appears that having served UK prison time for a terrorism conviction and being released, even conditionally with an electronic tag, as Khan was, is no guarantee of public safety. In France, a similar attack occurred in Saint-Etienne du Rouvrayin, in 2016, when two ISIS adherents forced a Catholic priest, Father Hamel, to his knees during morning prayer and slit his throat in the gruesome ISIS beheading style.

I did not know. That's kind of impressive, she's written for the Daily Caller. I think she also co-authored a book on a transgender Navy Seal, check amazon, that one, I wasn't as excited about but people aren't perfect.

Then DON'T parole them. Gee, that was easy.
Put them into some kind of British "Guantanamo" -- and LEAVE them there to rot.

A modern-day "Devil's Island" sounds just fine to me.
