London Mosque on Lockdown after Terrorist Incident - 1 Dead

Armed police have swooped on a mosque near Regent's Park in the hunt for suspects after a man was stabbed to death in central London.

A man was found with stab wounds at a housing block in Cunningham Place, Westminster, at about 6.15pm on Thursday. The suspects had fled the scene, police said.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said the incident was linked to police activity at the mosque, where pictures showed a large number of police on the scene.

John Stealer, a taxi driver who drove by the scene, told the Standard: "I could see a massive police presence outside the mosque and I could hear the helicopter above.

"I could see the flashing lights from a distance.

"When I heard the buzz of the helicopter I thought it was being taken seriously."

Another witness told the Standard gates around the mosque were locked and there was "a mass of people" outside.

Some people were said to be unable to leave the mosque though a number have started to be allowed to exit, according to reports.
