    The scumbag ran through some cyclists who were stopped at traffic lights at the top of the street before driving into the barrier. At least one required medical treatment at the scene.

    One treated and discharged at the scene. Two admitted to hospital, one since discharged. Remaining not in life threatning condition.

    The amount of attacks in 2018 compared to the prior three years has been all but non existant.

    Mostly all classed as 'mental health issues' now.

    Like the 19yo Afgan refugee that injured four strangers with a knife rampage in France last night. This would be a 'psychological' matter.

    I wonder will we ever get to hear the full details of the Dundalk incident in an open court in Ireland.

    The attack was definitely not related to ISIS. They know this yet they apparently still don't know his real name or where he is from (although I'm even starting to doubt this. Surely one look at the guy and a listen to him speak by someone familiar with North Africa/ Mid East would have it solved pretty sharpish)

    Not sure why you air quoted - those would quite clearly be all a consequence of pyschological issues.

    Calling them terrorist acts elevates them to a level not deserved.

    Someone needs to do up a statistical analysis of how common it was for people with Muslim names to stab multiple people or crash cars into crowds in Europe in the years prior to the rise of ISIS.

    Because the amount of unrelated attacks seems to be through the roof.

    Sure didn't the Gardai know the lads who fell off the back of a lorry in Laois were "no danger"- without knowing who they were or where they come from.

    Who knew Guards were so telepathic???

    Counter-terror police are searching a number of addresses in Birmingham and Nottingham. The Fiesta had a number of previous owners. The car was spotted driving around different parts of London in the early hours of this morning.

    However, they think he acted alone, which comes as no surprise TBH.

    This is the first time I've heard of a secular military having a religious orientation.

    The Buddhist form of suicide bombing is self-immolation.

    Glad to see the barriers placed at Westminster were effective.

    There's little need to involve others in something so rudimentary.

    Stupid phuck is probably surprised to be still alive. None of these lads launch the attack with the intent of ending up in a prison cell.

    Do not worry the usual ISIS defenders will be along to tell us how evil and racist we are and how it was either a false flag or the poor kid was mentally ill.
    Could you quote one post from boards where someone seriously defended isis or are you just making things up?

    I think this is fake news as I was on Kildare Street earlier and there was no sign of anything going on.

    There are no "Houses Of Parliament" in Kildare Street.

    Dail Eireann and Seanad Eireann sit in Leinster House, for which "Houses Of Parliament" is not and never has been an acceptable translation into English. There isn't a translation, in both Irish and English that is their name.

    You could call them the "houses of the Oireachtas" if you must but nobody really does.

    I would have thought any sentient Irish man or woman knew this to be honest.

    Looking like this may not have been a terror attack. Seems a reasonable assumption considering the video footage. If it was terrorism it was extremely incompetent.
    The crashing of a car into the Houses of Parliament, which prompted a major counterterrorist operation, may not have been an act of terrorism, The Independent has learned.

    While the motive of the driver remains unclear, investigators are coming to the view that it is likely to be related to his personal circumstances.

    The police have been granted an extension of time, until next Monday, to hold 29-year-old Salih Khater, and more information about what happened may emerge in that time. But senior Whitehall sources say there is no evidence yet that he had been radicalised into Islamist extremism.

    Investigations into Sudanese-born Mr Khater’s activities and associates are continuing, and officials point out that while proof of terrorist links may emerge, that is currently looking unlikely.

    Bull****. Find someone who's said that terrorist attacks are fine.

    What kind of world exists in your head where you think that people who don't hate muslims are ok with terrorist attacks?

    It does illustrate the atmosphere at the moment. If virtually any unexpected incident happens involving a non white or non British person causing injury to others, it is a 'terrorist attack'.

    When you consider we had two cases of cars plowing into pedestrians in the space of a few weeks last month with not a hint of terrorism it's something that isn't exactly unusual. Although the fact this incident happened where it did is grounds in itself to suspect terrorism from the out. But when you watch the video it looks more like he is trying to flee from the blue lights than actually aim for anything in particular.

    The fact that he drove straight at the houses of parliament at high speed and tried to take out numerous cyclists, pedestrians and police doesn't reek of terrorism?

    What planet are you living on?

    Didn't look like hewas trying to take out pedestrians or cyclists. If he wanted to do that he could have driven along the path. It looked like he was cutting across the path to get away from the blue lights behind him. and he didn't drive at the houses of parliament. He drove straight into bollards near them. If his goal was terrorism he did it all wrong.
