At least 36 people have died in 5 major terror attacks in Britain this year.
A terrorist device planted on the London Underground subway system caused a small fire Friday, injuring at least 22 commuters who suffered burns and also sustained injuries amid the panic and chaos of a stampede to flee the scene. Police have not released any information about suspects and there was no immediate claim of responsibility.
It was the fifth terrorist attack in Britain this year that have led to at least 36 deaths.
Here’s a look at the other four.
Briton Khalid Masood, 52, killed five people and injured 50 near the Houses of Parliament after he drove a rental car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge and then stabbed a police officer to death outside Parliament. Masood was shot dead by police.
Salman Abedi, a 22-year-old of Libyan descent, killed 22 people and injured several hundred after he detonated an explosive device at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. The bomb targeted children and their parents. Abedi died in the blast. Investigators think he acted alone. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility.
Eight people were killed and 48 injured when a van rammed pedestrians on London Bridge before three men got out of the vehicle and began stabbing people in nearby Borough Market. All three suspects were shot dead by police minutes later. The assailants wore fake suicide-bomb vests. Four police officers were injured.
One person died and at least eight people were injured after Darren Osborne, 47, drove a van into a group of Muslim worshippers as they were leaving midnights prayers at a mosque in the Finsbury Park area of London. The attack happened during the holy month of Ramadan. The man who died had fallen ill immediately before the van mounted the sidewalk, but injuries sustained during the attack contributed to his death.
