londoners bearing flowers and messages of solidarity gathered at the spot where a man ploughed a van into Muslims leaving prayers at a mosque, the fourth terror strike in Britain in four months.
Eleven people were injured in the attack, which took place early yesterday near Finsbury Park mosque, north london, raising fears of retaliation against Muslims after recent assaults by Islamic extremists.
One elderly man, who had collapsed just before the incident, was pronounced dead at the scene, but it is not yet known whether his death was directly linked to the van assault.
Among the roughly 100 people at the vigil, some carried signs reading “United Against All Terror”.
