UK REMEMBERS LONDON BRIDGE ATTACK VICTIMS ON FIRST ANNIVERSARY

LONDON: Britain’s resolve to “stand firm” against terrorism is stronger than ever, Prime Minister Theresa May said on Sunday, a year since a deadly vehicle-and-knife attack on London Bridge. Eight people were killed and almost 50 injured when three Islamic State-inspired attackers ran down pedestrians on the bridge, then stabbed people at bars and restaurants in nearby Borough Market. The three attackers were shot dead by police within minutes. May paid tribute to the bravery of first responders and others, including Ignacio Echeverria, a Spanish man who tackled the attackers with his skateboard and died in the attack. “Our resolve to stand firm and overcome this threat together has never been stronger,” she said.
