PM To Host Emergency COBRA Meeting After Mosque Attack

The Prime Minister has confirmed that the police are treating the Finsbury Park mosque attack as “potential terrorism” and will stage an emergency meeting of the COBRA crisis committee on Monday morning.

Police were called to Seven Sisters Road in North London at 12.20am after a van was driven into pedestrians.

The Metropolitan Police have confirmed that one man died following the incident.

A further eight people have been taken to hospital and two others were treated at the scene for minor injuries.

48-year old Darren Osborne is being held on suspicion of attempted murder and later further arrested over alleged terror offences.

He was arrested by the police in connection with the incident after he was detained at the scene by members of the public.

The Muslim Council of Britain said the van intentionally ran over worshippers, and it called for extra security around mosques.
