Monday Morning: West London

monday morning: One elderly man died and 11 were injured in the incident which had chilling accounts from witnesses who said the attacker laughed and shouted You Muslims deserve this, according to Globe and Mail. It was the fourth terrorist attack in the last four months and the third in London involving men slamming vans into pedestrians. The latest crisis to hit the country came early Monday morning when a man drove a van into a crowd of Muslims who had just left a mosque in London after praying. And it came as the city is still recovering from a fire at the Grenfell Tower social-housing complex in west London last Wednesday, which has killed at least 79 people and called into question the actions of civic leaders who ignored repeated concerns about the building's safety for years. People are scared, said Ferhat Laichoui as he stood next to the Finsbury Mosque, one of two in the north London neighbourhood where the attack occurred.
