Posted on 2021-10-16 14:15:01
Police in the UK say the stabbing of a long-serving member of Parliament during a meeting with constituents was a terrorist incident, and that they believe the attacker acted alone.
The Metropolitan Police said today that the early investigation into the slaying of Conservative lawmaker David Amess ``has revealed a potential motivation linked to Islamist extremism.''
Amess, who was 69, was attacked around midday Friday at a Methodist church in Leigh-on-Sea, a town about 62 kilometers east of London.
Paramedics tried without success to save him.
Police arrested the suspect and recovered a knife.
