UK Terror Attack - London Mosque

[Second Summer]

Renting a truck in Cardiff and driving 100 miles to London to use it for an attack on a mosque sounds quite "premeditated" to me.

Premeditated yes, but seemingly less so than most recent jihadi attacks. Hiring a van and driving it to a particular mosque in London doesn't require that much planning, after all.

You can also judge the severity of the attack by the number of casualties, which again is lower than most jihadi attacks we hear about.

Cardiff is quite far from London so there is certainly a sense of planning! but yes, less co-ordination needed.

Don't know how reputable "Metro" is, but here we go...

They are owned by the Daily Mail, the only thing that should be taken seriously in Metro is the soduku when bored on a train (it's given out free at stations if anyone doesn't know).

TM said yesterday that she has a proposal to set up an anti-extremism commission. I have heard some of the experts on terrorism saying that is exactly what we need to have here.

I think we all need that.
