Saturday night’s rampage at the popular nightlife hub around London Bridge, by three men arriving in a van and wearing fake suicide vests, was the third deadly terror attack in Britain in three months and came only days before snap elections. National campaigning for Thursday’s general elec- tion was suspended for the day out of respect for the victims, who included 48 people treated in hospital, some of them in life-threatening conditions. No details have been released about the suspects, who were shot dead within minutes by police, and detectives are still investigating whether they acted alone.
