"This is for Allah", shouted the attackers while a Van hit pedestrians in London. 7 killed, 50 injured.
London Bridge was terrorized late Saturday night, when a white van being driven at 50 mph ran over pedestrians injuring at least 50 people, as confirmed by the Scotland Yard.
At least 7 people have died, as confirmed by the London police, while the injured are being treated at nearby hospitals.
Meanwhile, simultaneous attacks were also reported at the nearby Borough market where three men stabbed a police officer and revellers with 12 inch knives, while shouting "this is for Allah."
The Telegraph reported that the trio were seen wearing what looked like 'explosive jackets', however it turned out to be a hoax.
At 5:OO PM PT The Metropolitan Police confirmed the two incidents as 'terrorist attacks' and apparently linked with each other.
London's Southwark Bridge has been closed for now as further investigations take place.
