New Delhi: With London hit by a terrorist attack today, US President Donald Trump appeared to criticise the city's mayor Sadiq Khan. "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!'" he tweeted.
The Trump administration recently banned immigration of people from several Muslim countries in the US, citing security threats.
Soon after the attacks, Khan said that Britons should not be alarmed to see a higher police presence on the streets of London. Last Year, Sadiq Khan became the first Muslim Mayor of London city.
Meanwhile, the UK's national parliamentary election will go ahead on as per schedule, said the UK Prime Minister Theresa May, further adding, "It is time to say enough is enough."
Three assailants, inside a van mowed down pedestrians on the 19th century London Bridge, and then proceeded to shoot several people in London's Borough Market. Over 48 people, who suffered injuries in the London terror attack, have been rushed to the hospital. A cellphone video, shot inside a restaurant, captures the terror and panic as the attack unfolded in central London.
The incident came 12 days after a suicide bomber killed 22 people at Ariana Grande pop concert at Manchester and just five days before the crucial June 8 UK elections.
Condemning the London attack, French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted, "In the face of this tragedy, the France is more than ever at the side of the United Kingdom. My thoughts go to the victims and their loved ones." (Translation)
