Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on mobilizing the world’s effort to eradicate terrorism. Germany and French leaders agreed to strengthen security after the London blast, saying the attack prompted international cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
IS group has claimed responsibility for the attack. London’s police said a manhunt is underway to find the suspects. This was the 4th terror attack in London and the 5th in the UK over past 6 months. The UK has raised the terrorism alert to the highest and this is the 4th time it raised the level of terrorism alert to the highest since 2006.
