After The Latest Terrorist London Attack, Prime Minister Says, ‘Enough Is Enough’

Prime minister Theresa May has vowed to step up Britain’s fight against Islamist extremism, saying “enough is enough” after the country’s third terrorist attack in three months left seven dead and 48 injured.

Seven people were killed and dozens more injured in a “brutal terrorist attack” in London Saturday night after assailants used a vehicle to plow into pedestrians on London Bridge and attacked others with knives in nearby Borough Market, officials said.

Three suspects were shot and killed in the wake of the carnage and all were wearing fake suicide belts, police said. A total of 50 rounds were fired, and one bystander was hit by bullets, police said.

The attack comes in the wake of a suicide bombing outside an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester on May 22 that killed 22. It also comes after another vehicle ramming attack in March on Westminster Bridge that left four dead including the suspect.
