ロンドン北部で１９日未明、近くのモスク（イスラム教礼拝所）での礼拝を終えて外を歩いていたイスラム教徒の列にワゴン車が突っ込み、警察当局によると１人が死亡、軽傷の２人を含めて計１０人がけがをした。ロンドン警視庁はワゴン車を運転していた４８歳の男を逮捕した。メイ英首相は、警察がテロの可能性があるとみて捜査していると明らかにした。
目撃者は英ＢＢＣ放送に、容疑者が「イスラム教徒を皆殺しにしてやる」と話していたと証言した。イスラム教団体は信者を意図的に狙ったとの声明を発表した。英紙ガーディアンによると、警察の対テロ部門が捜査に加わっているという。
日没後に活動することの多いラマダン（断食月）期間中で、モスク近辺は未明でも人が多かったとみられる。目撃者によると、現場に駆け付けた警官らが負傷者に応急手当てをしていたという。

The Finsbury Park Mosque is a mosque located in Finsbury Park, in the London Borough of Islington, North London, England. Finsbury Park Mosque is registered as a charity in the UK, serving the local community in Islington and the surrounding Boroughs of North London.[2]
The Finsbury Park Mosque is co-located with the North London Central Mosque.[1] The organisation, 'Muslims in Britain'[3] classify the Finsbury Park Mosque as, "Salafi - Ikhwan".[1]
The 5-storey mosque building was opened to the public in 1994 to serve the growing Muslim population in North London. The opening ceremony of the Mosque was attended by Prince Charles. The mosque is located next to Finsbury Park station close to Arsenal Football Club's Emirates Stadium, in the London Borough of Islington.[4]
The mosque is a member of the Islington Faith Forum and has positive relations with other faith and non-faith organisations within the borough such as the St Thomas Church as well as the Islington Council, the local MP Jeremy Corbyn and the Islington Police. Besides the five daily congregational prayers held in the mosque as well as the Friday prayers and regular Islamic teachings and lectures for men, women and children the mosque has also ensured that it gives back to its local community.
Activities that take place in the Mosque include:
- The ‘Meal for all’ a weekly initiative which provides hot meals for the homeless.[5]
- School open days and #visitmymosque days provide members of the public with more information on Islam and the Mosque’s work.[6]
- The mosque also runs a weekly youth centre for children within the local community
- Regular events take place in the mosque such as tackling hate crime as well as events on the environment and climate change.
Former terrorism links
Al Qaeda operatives including "shoebomber" Richard Reid and Zacarias Moussaoui attended the mosque.[7] In 2002, The Guardian reported that weapons training had taken place inside the building.[8]The mosque rose to notoriety after Abu Hamza al-Masri became Imam of the Mosque, due to his extremist ideologies and views on terrorism.[9] However, in 2003 the Mosque was raided by the Metropolitan Police and shut down. It was then reopened in February 2005 with a new board of trustees supported by the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB), who were asked by the police to try to turn it around. Dr Azzam Tamimi, a leading member of MAB, described it as "one of the very rare success stories where the Muslim community and others came together and decided to rescue the mosque", although a minority complained of lack of consultation, with Ashgar Bukhari of the campaign group Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK saying that the committee should have been elected.[10]
In 2014, HSBC bank closed Finsbury Park Mosque's bank account. This was due to reported links to terrorism before 2005, based on information provided by the Thomson Reuters news agency. However, the mosque then filed a legal case against Thomson Reuters and won in 2017, with Reuters being required to issue an apology and pay damages.[11][12]
According to classified American documents, released by Wikileaks, Finsbury Park mosque previously served "as a haven" for Islamic extremists who subsequently fought against allied forces in Afghanistan.[13]
Wood Green ricin plot
In 2003, over one hundred armed police raided the building as part of the investigation into the alleged Wood Green ricin plot.[14] Abu Hamza al-Masri was eventually jailed for seven years in 2006 after being convicted of inciting murder and race hate. Later, he was deported to the United States to face justice for terrorism charges after a ten-year battle in the British courts based on his "indefinite leave to remain in the UK", which was granted to him by the previous Conservative government. He was eventually sentenced to life in prison.[15]2017 incident
Shortly after midnight on 19 June 2017 several worshippers leaving the nearby Muslim Welfare House were struck by a hired van.[16] The Metropolitan Police described the situation as a "major incident".[17]
