Three Jihadi terrorists have been shot dead by armed police after killing six people and injuring 30 more during a horrific knife rampage in central London last night.
The men, described as being 'of Mediterranean origin', shouted 'This is for Allah' after they mowed down up to 20 revellers in a white van hurtling across London Bridge at 50mph on Saturday.
Attackers stabbed a police officer on the bridge and then used 12-inch hunting knives to attack revellers at busy bars and restaurants in the nearby Borough Market, in what authorities described as terrorist incidents. One man was reportedly stabbed five times in the chest.
Witnesses said the gang, who had metal canisters strapped to their chests, smashed pub windows and reportedly cut the throats of drinkers. A 'dark-skinned' man in a red tracksuit 'calmly' stabbed a man three times.
The male suspects were shot and killed by armed police in Borough Market within eight minutes of the first call. The attackers were wearing suicide vests, which turned out to be 'hoaxes', police said.
Armed police rushed to the scene where shots were heard and authorities urged panicked Londoners on Twitter to 'run, hide, tell' if they were caught in the 'utter chaos'.
The tragedy comes just 12 days after the Manchester terror attack and 10 weeks after the Westminster atrocity.
