09:50Islamic State (Isis) has claimed responsibility for Saturday night’s attack via Amaq, its main communications channel, but evidence linking the group to the atrocity is sketchy. The group simply said that a “detachment of fighters” from the group were responsible for the violence in London. For a long time, Isis claims were seen as reliable by experts. Isis claimed Khalid Massood, who attacked parliament and pedestrians on Westminster bridge in March, as one of their fighters. Just days ago Isis claimed the bloody attack on a casino in Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
