A suspect has been charged with three counts of murder over a knife attack in the English town of Reading described by police as a terrorist incident, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said on Saturday.

A man wielding a five-inch knife attacked people out enjoying the sun at Forbury Gardens, a Reading park, on the evening of June 20, killing three people and injuring three others.

"The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorized CounterTerrorism Policing South East to charge Khairi Saadallah,
...arrived in England requesting asylum in 2012 because he liked to smoke and drink, developed schizophrenia and an interest in jihad which briefly attracted the attention of MI5 last year, released from prison just two weeks before succumbing to Sudden Jihad Syndrome but could not be sent back to Libya because the country was deemed too dangerous for him...
25, with three counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder," the CPS said.

Saadallah will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on Monday.

A security source had previously told Rooters that the suspect, a resident of Reading, was a Libyan national.

Police named the victims as Britons James Furlong, 36, and David Wails, 49, and US national Joseph Ritchie-Bennett, 39.

#1  could not be sent back to Libya because the country was deemed too dangerous for him...

No consideration that he was too dangerous to the country he was in though. This is known as human sacrifice to those outside the virtue signalling crowd who hold power. You are expendable for their virtue.
