London crash: 1 killed, 10 injured after van slams into crowd leaving mosque


A large van struck pedestrians near a London mosque early Monday, killing one man and injuring 10 others in what police are investigating as a terrorist incident. The crash occurred shortly after midnight as Muslims were leaving the Muslim Welfare House after Ramadan prayers, Sky News reported. The chairman of the Finsbury Park Mosque said the van crash that hit worshippers was a "cowardly attack" and urged Muslims going to mosques to be vigilant. He complained that the "mainstream media" was unwilling to call the attack a terrorist incident for many hours. Prime Minister Theresa May described the crash as a "potential terrorist attack" and said she would chair an emergency security Cabinet session later Monday.
