Reply to: Westminster attack again

[Hobosapien]

While some of these attacks are likely to be rage / revenge related the chance of using vehicles for mass assault is obviously the new terror weapon of choice due to its easy availability.

So I look forward to 'AI' and the inevitable automated vehicles. Trucks and delivery vehicles are the obvious starting point as they have a pre-mappable route, can stick to the inside lane on motorways/dual carriageways, and avoid town/city centres while travelling between out of town delivery hubs, until the software is good enough to mix more thoroughly with less predictable traffic and human interactions.

For one I'm no longer bothered that driving a car will at some point in the near future become a thing of the past. The roads are full of numpties, cash generating scameras, and are in such a poor pot holed state that I prefer driving a van with it's soft suspension and don't give a **** 'white van man' attitude than a sports car.

Though this is just treating the symptom not the problem. Ban all religion until god proves 'he' exists. It'll be a long wait.

For all we know he is just a bit looney tunes and relied on his sat nav too much.

If that were the case, it wouldn't be treated as a terrorist incident.

Infract yourself you hypocrite!!!

Why? Most people from (Northern) Sudan are Muslim. If a Muslim carries out a terrorist attack, then there's strong possibility it's related to his interpretation of his religion. He certainly seems to be following the pattern "known to the police".

[LondonManc]

A fresh attack remains as likely as before the attack, but plod and the spooks have no specific intelligence about one. Not too hard to comprehend.

The driver is a recently British fellow of Sudanese origin, so probably Muslim, but no motive has been announced although it's still be treated as a terrorist incident.

[NotAllThere]

So what is it:

Police have not launched a manhunt in relation to the attack, and said there was no one else in the car and no intelligence of a further risk to the public in London or elsewhere in Britain.

or

Theresa May has said the UK's terror threat level remains at "severe", following this morning's crash.

It means a fresh attack is highly likely.

It's just so confusing...

It is understood police have identified the man and that he is from the Midlands. The owner of the car is known to police, the Guardian understands, although it is unclear whether the suspect is that owner.

[OwlHoot]

The guy's obviously not very good at the planning-and-executing-a-terrorist-attack thing.

For a start, Parliament isn't even sitting at the moment. ...

Apparently he was being tailed by a white van. So maybe that spooked him into switching to a spur of the moment Plan B.

[darmstadt]

Using single or dual attackers in multiple waves is hardly confusing, its standard tactics.

Maybe the person caught is known to fraternise with other suspects who have gone underground, therefore future attacks are likely?

You referring to G-LCPL? It's grey, not blue.

Nope. Not that.

This...

[WTFH]

Would've made a better picture with a certain blue helicopter on the bridge... ...again.

[Zigenare]

Or photographers grab chance to get a photo standing on the bridge with the Palace of Westminster in the background without hoards of others or traffic marring the view. But that doesn't fit with the agenda, does it?
