Finsbury Park: Number of casualties as 'van hits pedestrians' on Seven Sisters Road
The Telegraph is liveblogging this story as it unfolds.
[Telegraph] One person has been enjugged
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
 after a vehicle struck pedestrians, leaving "a number of casualties" in north London.

Officers were called at 12.20am on Monday to Seven Sisters Road, the Metropolitan Police said.

London Ambulance Service said: "We have sent a number of resources to an incident in Seven Sisters Road."

The incident reportedly happened close to Finsbury Park mosque.
...long time home pulpit of one-eyed, hook-handed hate preacher Abu Hamza, known to his mother back in Egypt as Mustafa Kamel Mustafa. He now graces the Florence, Colorado supermax prison, and was connected to more planned and executed terror plots around the world over the past several decades than you can shake a stick at, many of them Al Qaeda.
Witnesses reported seeing six people on the ground after the van ploughed into worshippers who had been attending evening prayers at the Muslim Welfare House.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing bystanders wrestle the suspect to the ground and pin him down until officers arrived.

One eyewitness speaking to LBC said the van had hit people on the pavement, but had not collided with a building. "It looked like he had lost control of the van or something," he said.

A man leapt out of a white van and stabbed at least one person near a North London mosque, the Evening Standard newspaper reported on Monday, citing witnesses.

The suspect screamed "I'm going to kill all Muslims" before he was tackled to the floor, according to a witness.

For infidel dogs who drive, barking,
Straight onto the pavement,
And rave of enslavement...

I'm going for retaliation, NoMoreBS, given subsequent revelations. In checking over yesterday's Burg before I go to sleep, I noticed your link is the same as mine. Next time, go ahead and set up an article as well -- if it turns out to be a false alarm, we can always delete it. ;-) Thank you for being on top of this for us.

#4 Findsbury park Mosque was a hotbed of radicalism and got shut down. Subsequently reopened under new sweetness and light management or so Wikipedia says.

Given the van was rented 200 miles away in rural Wales, I'd say it was specifically targeted.

#5 van controls!

Yes! My two three step plan:

1) Remove all edged or pointy things from private hands.
2) Assign knife-armed police to butchers, fruit-and-veg vendors, and restaurants. Peelers, like.
3) Replace all drivers with armed police.

phil_b's Wikipedia article. Though with a current stated affiliation as Salafi - Ikhwan, I have to wonder how much bitterness and bile is currently going on there behind closed doors.

Incidentally, Abu Hamza's Wikipedia page is worth reviewing.

#8 Looks like the truck of peace got a turnabout.

I was wondering when something like this would happen to be honest.

There's probably a majority of people who look at this country failing needlessly and wondering WTF is happening. Looking at those who died in the recent fire makes it look like it was a fire in pakistan.

It wasn't outside the mosque and it's in a weird one-way system.
I wonder if this a crash with muslims in the road being engineered into something else?

This is alledgedly a picture of the van driver


The van was hired in Wales 200 odd miles away.

#18 It's looking like an RTA bigged up into terrorism by a screaming MSM.

Apparently, there was a heart attack patient in the road and the guy collided with a crowd around him.

They obviously were not near the mosque as that's 10 mins walk up the road.

Let's see what the MSM spin up!

#23 @Grom Yes! Apparently, the guy who died was from a heart attack and was sitting in the road in a chair!

There was group around him and the van swerved away from them probably into the curb.

This is looking more and more dodgy by the moment.

#46 If the folks that got plowed into were from the Finsbury mosque, and if it turns out they were making this up, I imagine that it could well blow up in their face. Look for authorities to cover this up in that case.

#47 So, a "hate crime" manufactured from an incident?

It's starting to look like it. I'd assumed it was directly outside the mosque. As it wasn't, how would the driver even know they were muslims?

Someone from outside London, not familiar with area, comes around a corner to find a crowd in the middle of the road. The rest can be put down to the muslim tendency to lie compulsively.

Can't see any of the MSM backtracking on the terrorism narrative as yet.

#49 This is interesting.

Follow the link to the videos and I can see why the eyewitness thought it was just a drill. No urgency and looks consistent with a minor traffic accident with no serious injuries.

Add in police over reaction due to the claim of 'terrorism'. And it looks like the real story is Muslims lying, resulting in a massive waste of police time.

The Daily Express has two bits of video, which don't make it look like a proper jihad attack, and they report the police say it isn't terror. On Bright Pebble's twitter link people were claiming the man was swearing in Romanian, about which I am not qualified to judge.
