Terrorist attack in Nottingham, England
Police say they believe a man used a knife to kill the driver of a van in order to steal his vehicle to drive into members of the public, as the investigation into Tuesday’s attack and its motivations continue.Predictably, nothing said so far whether the culprit is a Muslim. What it does say is that:
Three people were killed and a further three injured, one critically, in the early hours of Tuesday morning in a series of related attacks across Nottingham city centre using a knife and a white panel van as weapons. Two of those killed have been identified as students of the city’s Nottingham University, and the third has now been identified as the driver of a van who police say they believe was killed for his vehicle.
One victim has now been named, 19-year-old student Barnaby Webber, a former student of the prestigious Taunton private school in Somerset. Webber was described in reports as a talented sportsman who played cricket, hockey, and rugby.
While the murder of a truck driver in order to acquire a vehicle for an attack on pedestrians has been observed as a terror method in Europe before, police have been very clear in saying that while they are cooperating with counterterror police in their investigation, no motive has yet been found. The UK Home Secretary, or interior minister, has buttressed this position, saying the investigation is still in its early stages and that “We need to allow the police the time and the space to carry out all of their operational activity to determine the motive.”
The BBC and other U.K. media reported that the suspect was originally from West Africa and has lived legally in Britain for many years.Islam is practiced in west Africa, and one could wonder if it has any connection, but regrettably, the MSM in Britain won't say a word about it, and it won't be shocking if the terrible incident is swept under the rug soon.
