Police are treating this as a terror attack, it was reported the man is Libyan, thankfully in custody.

RIP the three innocent victims.

Confusing, first report after it happened didn't mention terrorism, late last night police were reported as saying it is terror related, then on BBC news this morning it wasn't...now it is.?

Another Islamist allowed into this country to murder innocent British people...

Libyan illegal immigrant and bogus asylum seeker - Khairi Saadallah.

Cowardly bastard.

It's a park where lots of young people hang out according to locals and police.

Indeed...but do you still have capital punishment?  If not, we could send you a few KKK'ers, if you pay for a one-way ticket for each.  Select an out-of-the way tree, start a bonfire and order in plenty of kegs.
