Islamic terrorism using vehicular and stabbing violence has hit London again.  Reports are only just now coming in.  Multiple persons have died, with attacks at London Bridge and the Borough Market.

London bridge has been closed in both directions.

Five or six people are being treated for injuries after a vehicle mounted the pavement and hit them, swerving specifically to target about 20 pedestrians.  

It is believed in the stabbing attacks there are three terrorists on the loose with twelve inch hunting knives.  There are also reports of explosions coming out of London.

One witness said she saw three people with what appeared to be their throats cut on London Bridge.

There also have been unconfirmed reports of gunfire amid the 'utter chaos' of the terrorist attacks.

The suspects have been described as being "of Mediterranean origin".  The stabbings occurred after the men drove the van across the bridge into a crowd, and then jumped out and began "randomly stabbing people" in central London at 10 pm.

One casualty on the bridge has been reported as being a police officer.

The gunfire is believed to have been police shooting at the assailants, with reports saying two of the attackers were killed.

A separate incident is being reported at Vauxhall in south London, among other possible multiple incidents.
