One suspect arrested, but interviews with eye witness's said they held driver on the ground for 5 minutes waiting for police and talk of a separate attacker that fled the vehicle.

Terrible. It's hard to fathom how these people reasoned this was a good idea. Great recruitment drive for ISIS, if that's what they were aiming for (maybe they were, and they want to get the war rolling?).

It is just awful. Information is really sketchy but interview with man who tackled the driver and held him that he was shouting "I want to kill all Muslims," and conflicting accounts of just 1 or 2 to 3 people in the van. Almost a year to the day after the Jo Cox murder and everything London has already gone through in the last few weeks. The Islamist attack outside parlaiment happened a year to the day after the first French attacks. They're both competing rival terror attacks for the most media spectacle and agitating for war yes.

True that this will probably fuel Islam rage more and perhaps motivate potential future terrorists. However, I am surprised that it doesn't happen more often considering how much hatred there is against Muslims at the moment.
