First victim identified in London Bridge terror attack

Cambridge University graduate Jack Merritt, 25, has been named as the first victim of the latest London bridge terror attack. The attacker - Usman Khan - was a former prisoner - convicted of plotting to bomb the London Stock Exchange. Khan had been free for almost a year and was wearing an electronic tag when he was shot dead by police, after killing 2 people and injuring three others. The attacker was one of a series of terrorists connected to the UK based Al-Muhajiroun group, released over a six-month period beginning in 2018. The UK government is now facing questions over why he was freed halfway through a 16-year sentence. Image: Facebook
