Gardai appeal for informatio­n on attacks

- BY JOHN PATRICK KIERANS

GARDAI have issued an appeal on behalf of London Metropolit­an Police to find anyone with informatio­n regarding the latest terror attack.

Three terrorists went on the rampage in the English capital last Saturday night, ploughing a van into unsuspecti­ng pedestrian­s on the bridge.

Wielding blades, they then got out and roamed through nearby Borough Market, stabbing revellers in bars and restaurant­s at random.

It was initially reported that seven people had been killed in the atrocity, while a further 48 victims were wounded, some critically.

However, the death toll has since risen to eight – after Scotland Yard said a body had been found in the River Thames on Wednesday evening. Gardai are now appealing for informatio­n on behalf of London police.

A spokesman said: “Detectives from the London Metropolit­an Police would like to hear from anyone who has informatio­n about the terrorist attack at London Bridge and Borough Market at 21.58 on Saturday, June 3, 2017.

“Officers are particular­ly keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the white van targeting individual­s on London Bridge, saw the suspects attacking members of the public or armed police engaging the suspects.

“If you have informatio­n about the incident or saw anything please use the following website to make contact with the Counter Terrorism Police in London via https://act. campaign.gov.uk.”
