See a photo of a man with canisters on his body who may be one of the London Bridge terrorist attack suspects.
The BBC has published the above photo that appears to be of a London Bridge terror attack suspect on the ground with canisters strapped to his body.
The photo came from the Instagram page of a man named Gabriele Sciotto. “One social media user has published a picture of a man on the ground with what appeared to be canisters strapped to his body, ” BBC wrote.
Sciotto also posted photos of people running from the attack.
A photo was also published of another man being arrested in the Vauxhall area of London, although police are now saying that a Vauxhall incident is not related to the coordinated terrorist attacks in London at London Bridge and Borough Market.
London was struck with what may be three coordinated terrorist attacks on June 3. A van plowed into pedestrians on London Bridge, in an attack eerily reminiscent of the earlier assault on Westminster Bridge at UK Parliament. Then, a gang of about five men attacked a nearby pub with knives. A possible third incident was reported at Vauxhall.
A Daily Telegraph reported said on Twitter that it’s believed two terrorists were shot dead by the police.
Total casualty figures are not yet clear, and news reports said that some terrorists were shot by police and others were on the run. According to The Sun, as many as seven people were killed and up to 20 people were injured.
Prime Minister Theresa May said the attacks were suspected terrorism, and President Donald Trump vowed to provide the UK any assistance needed.
Vehicles have increasingly been used in terrorist attacks to cause mayhem, from France to Germany to Great Britain.
ISIS has claimed responsibility for previous attacks, but the influences and identities of the suspects in the June 3 attacks at London Bridge and nearby Borough Market are not yet known.
UK Telegraph called it a “terrorist rampage.” According to the British news site, “London Bridge and Borough Market have been hit in what appears to be two coordinated attacks south of the River Thames. A separate incident at Vauxhall is not connected, police have said.”
Other sites had reported that Vauxhall was being investigated as a possible third attack site.
“Witnesses reported up to 20 people injured. there were also reports of pedestrians being attacked with knives, ” reported The Telegraph.
A witness told BBC “they were running and stabbing everyone.”

Terrorism struck at the heart of London, police said Sunday, after a vehicle veered off the road and mowed down pedestrians on London Bridge and gunshots rang out amid reports of knife attacks at nearby Borough Market.
Terrorism struck at the heart of London, police said Sunday, after a vehicle veered off the road and mowed down pedestrians on London Bridge and gunshots rang out amid reports of knife attacks at nearby Borough Market. The violence turned a summery Saturday night in an area full of bars and restaurants into a scene of panic and chaos, with officers running through crowded streets screaming for people to flee and lifeboats drafted to help clear the area. British media reported that more than one person had been killed in the rampage. Prime Minister Theresa May said it was a potential act of terrorism and the Metropolitan Police force said it had declared the attacks as “terrorist incidents.”Police said they were called just after 10 p.m. in London to reports of a vehicle hitting pedestrians on the bridge, which crosses the River Thames in central London. Soon after, there were reported stabbings at nearby Borough Market, an area full of bars and restaurants. The force said armed officers were sent to the scenes and shots were fired. They did not say if officers fired the shots. The force initially said officers were also responding to a reported third incident, in the Vauxhall area of London. But they said later that turned out to be an unrelated stabbing. The force tweeted a warning telling people in the area to run to safety, hide and then call police if it is safe to do so. May said that “following updates from police and security officials, I can confirm that the terrible incident in London is being treated as a potential act of terrorism.”She said it was a fast-moving investigation and her thoughts were with “those who are caught up in these dreadful events.”May’s office said she would chair a meeting of the government’s COBRA emergency committee on Sunday. About two hours after the first reports of an incident, television images showed people walking away from the London Bridge area with their hands on their heads. Police tweeted that Londoners should “remain calm but be alert and vigilant.”Nick Brandon of British Transport Police said the force had received reports of “multiple” casualties in an incident possibly involving a knife and a vehicle. He said he did not know how serious the injuries were. Multiple witnesses reported a vehicle veering off the road and hitting several pedestrians; others also said they saw a man with a knife. Witnesses reported seeing injured people on the ground on the bridge. One, Holly Jones, told the BBC a white van veered off the road and struck as many as six people. She said she saw at least four or five people on the ground. Another witness, Will Heaven, said he saw people who appeared to have been hit, and one being put into an ambulance.”We saw injured people on the road, injured people on the pavement, ” he told Sky News. He added that “it did not look like an accident”, saying it was clear that police “thought they were responding to something far more serious than a road traffic accident.”A man who gave only his first name, Ben, told BBC radio that he “saw a man in red with a large blade, at a guess 10 inches long, stabbing a man, about three times” near Borough Market. Transport for London said busy London Bridge station and two others were closed at the request of police. The incident happened on a warm Saturday night in a busy area full of bars and restaurants. It comes less than three months after an attacker ran down people with a vehicle on Westminster Bridge, killing four, then stabbed a policeman to death outside Parliament. On May 22, a suicide bomber killed 22 people and injured dozens at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. After that attack, Britain’s official threat level from terrorism was raised to “critical, ” meaning an attack may be imminent. Several days later it was lowered to “severe, ” meaning an attack is highly likely.
