Is that a different attack to the one just now where a man was shot after he attacked someone with a hammer?

No explosion.

It's sensationalised though isn't it.

This is the type of thing which has happened in cities around the world every day for hundreds of years. You wouldn't have heard of this attack 10, 20 years ago, it just wouldn't be newsworthy.

If it is an attack by fundamentalists, then they're being given the platform to scare people. That's exactly what they want.

I was listening to something on the radio the other day and they fully expect this to be an issue for a generation or two.

IS claimed responsibility for the guy who attacked the casino recently. Turns out he had nothing to do with them, he was just skint.
I think they are getting desperate.
