Evening Prayers: Muslim Worshippers

evening prayers: The larger Finsbury Park Mosque, which was once associated with several extremist preachers before it was shut down and reformed, is located nearby, according to Toronto Star. Nine people were injured in the attack. The attack unfolded Monday when the alleged assailant, identified by British media as 47-year-old Darren Osborne, drove a rental van into a crowd of Muslim worshippers outside a mosque in the north London neighbourhood of Finsbury Park, an area with a significant Muslim population. One man also died outside the Muslim Welfare House as evening prayers concluded for the holy month of Ramadan. She told neighbours that the van had run over his legs. Makram Ali, 51, died at the scene in his daughter's arms. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
