London Streatham Attack: Soon after releasing from prison after serving time for terrorism-related offenses, a man wearing fake bomb stabbed two people in south London before being shot to death by police. The attacker has been identified as 20-year-old Sudesh Amman. He was convicted for publishing graphic terrorist videos online.

Reacting to the incident, Prime Minister Boris Johnson took to twitter and wrote: "Thank you to all emergency services responding to the incident in Streatham, which the police have now declared as terrorism-related. My thoughts are with the injured and all those affected."


Deputy Assistant Commissioner Lucy D’Orsi said that the suspect had been recently released from prison. He had been serving a sentence for Islamist-related terrorism offences." The incident has recalled a November stabbing attack which was carried out by another man who had served prison time for terrorism offense. In that attack, two people were killed. PM Boris Johnson stated that the measures will be introduced on Monday to bring fundamental change to the way people convicted of terrorism offenses are handled in prison and afterward. https://www.ptcnews.tv/coronavirus-outbreak-death-toll-in-china-confirmed-cases-17205-en/ The attacker Sudesh Amman was found guilty in November 2018 to six charges of possessing documents containing terrorist information and seven of disseminating terrorist publications.
