An American woman was killed and five other people injured in a stabbing attack in London’s Russell Square by a Norwegian man of Somali origin who was arrested after the incident, authorities said. He said the woman who died was a 60-year-old American, and the five injured people are British, American, Israeli and Australian. The Russell Square incident came within hours of an announcement by London police that they were putting more armed officers on the streets. In May 2013, two al-Qaida-inspired London men killed off-duty soldier Lee Rigby in the street near his barracks. In a city with vivid memories of the July 7, 2005, attacks on public transport — two of which struck near Russell Square — she immediately suspected that an attack had occurred.
