**Injured three other people. The aggressor, who was disarmed by passersby, wore a simulated explosive vest** The London Metropolitan Police keeps the London Bridge cordoned off and closed from early Friday afternoon after a terrorist attack has killed two people and injured three others, according to the BBC. The head of the Scotland Yard Counter-Terrorism Unit, Neil Basu, has announced that the attacker has also died as a result of agent shooting. The individual was carrying a "false explosive device" tied to his body, as confirmed by the artisans. Basu has reported that several people have been stabbed and that the incident has been officially declared a "terrorist attack", although in the initial phase of the investigation they remain open to other possibilities. In a previous statement, the police have assured that a warning call was received around 14.58 (Spanish peninsular time), denouncing that a stabbing had occurred near the bridge. "The emergency services immediately treated the injured, including Metropolitan Police officers. One man has been arrested and we believe that several people have been injured," the Metropolitan Police reported. Ambulances and police cars remain in one of the busiest bridges in the capital of the United Kingdom . Scotland Yard has asked citizens to leave the area in their social networks. In a video shown by the BBC, recorded with his cell phone by a witness, a man can be seen on the ground in the pedestrian part of the bridge. Two people in civilian clothes struggle with him. They are surrounded by several police officers. One of those involved, wearing a suit, tie and coat, walks away shortly after the scene and seems to carry a knife in his hand. Finally, a policeman drags the other individual out of the clothes, who seemed to be blocking the alleged aggressor, dressed completely in black. That's when the agents start firing on the apparent suspect. Government sources cited by the BBC say that the police response to the incident has been "defensive", since no previous information had been received from the intelligence services. The anti-terrorism department of the British Ministry of Interior, with the help of MI5 (domestic espionage service), is leading the investigation, according to the public network. Several media have shown the image of a white truck in a strange position, as if it were intended to block the entrance or exit of the bridge, although at this point there is no official confirmation that this vehicle has any relation to the incident. The incident has taken place in the same location where, 2017, the last terrorist attack that London has suffered. In June of that year, three individuals aboard a white van began to run over pedestrians. Shortly after, on foot, they launched themselves to stab pedestrians. 8 people died and 48 were injured. The Spaniard Ignacio Echeverría, "the skateboard hero", was one of those who died while trying to help some of the victims. "They keep me constantly informed about what happened on the London Bridge and I want to thank the police and emergency services for their immediate response," Prime Minister Boris Johnson wrote in his Twitter social network account. Johnson , in an election campaign for the upcoming general elections on December 12, has immediately returned to No. 10 Downing Street, the official residence and headquarters of the prime minister's office. The mayor of London, Labor Sadiq Khan, has confirmed that the incident was being investigated as a possible terrorist attack: "We will remain determined to stand up to terror with firmness and unity. Those who intend to attempt against us and divide us will never succeed." Khan has said. The mayor, a Muslim whose family emigrated to London in the fifties, has defended the racial and cultural diversity of the city against those who hate that way of life. "The dejected man represents the worst of humanity. The citizens who immobilized him, and the police officers, represent the best of humanity. We have seen an incredible show of heroism, with people who have run into danger without thinking about it. They are the best of us all, "said Khan. https://elpais.com/internacional/2019/11/29/actualidad/1575037423_311795.html
