A terror attack near a London mosque is "every bit as sickening" as others in recent weeks, Theresa May says.

A man drove a van into worshippers close to Muslim Welfare House in Finsbury Park as they were gathered to help an elderly man who had collapsed. He later died, but it is not clear if this was a result of the attack. Nine other people were taken to hospital.

A 47-year-old man was held on suspicion of attempted murder and later further arrested over alleged terror offences. Scotland Yard said he was being held on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism including murder and attempted murder.

Darren Osborne, 47, was arrested in the early hours of Monday on suspicion of driving a van into a crowd of Muslim worshippers in north London. He is alleged to have shouted "kill all Muslims" and "this is for London Bridge" in the wake of the attack.

Muslim residents on the Cardiff estate where he lived with his partner and four children, claimed he had previously been friendly but said his attitude had changed in recent weeks.

He allegedly hurled insults at his Asian neighbour's 12-year-old son, in the wake of the Islamist attack in the capital earlier this month.

[...] After being dragged from the van by an angry mob, he was protected by the Imam of the mosque, Mohammed Mahmoud, who ordered people not to attack him, but hand him over to the police.

    I mean this and I say it to everybody: you have to secure the border. You know, in terms of getting people. Now you can use combinations of walls, you can you use fences, you can use, in some cases, the ocean, in this case they have an ocean which is certainly helpful. But you have to do something to secure the border. We don't have a country without a border. Without a border, we just don't have a country. So everybody is in favor. We underscore that those that sponsor terrorism risk falling victim to the evil they promote. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain [twitter.com]

      I would never open a casino in Wales. The Welsh are terrible for the gaming industry. Very bad at paying their gambling debts. And I don't need to tell you, Welsh radicalism is a big problem. But when Britain leaves the EU it will be its own country, and there will be borders. If you don't have borders, you don't have a country.
