Eight people were killed and dozens more injured when three fanatics ploughed a van into crowds before going on a stabbing spree in busy Borough Market. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the atrocity through its propaganda agency Amaq. The attack was the third terrorist atrocity in the UK in three months and came just 12 days after the barbaric suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.

Speaking after the latest London attacks, Prime Minister Theresa May said it was time to get tough with the terrorists, vowing: “Enough is enough.” And British planes have been hunting down the jihadis in their Middle Eastern heartlands. The RAF has dropped numerous bombs on ISIS positions in Syria and Iraq this week, destroying vehicles and equipment and killing fighters. One picture taken last week showed a Hellfire missile intended for the terror group with the message “love from Manchester” scrawled on it.

A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: “West of Kirkuk, a pair of Tornados used a Paveway IV to destroy a Daesh strongpoint, whilst two mixed pairs of Tornados and Typhoons delivered five attacks in Mosul with four Brimstones and a Paveway against a truck-bomb, three sniper teams and a group with rocket-propelled grenades. “A further mixed pair conducted three further attacks in Mosul on Sunday 4 June, using a Brimstone to deal with a sniper, and two Paveway IVs against a pair of Daesh-held buildings from which fire was being directed at Iraqi troops.
