Death toll could rise in London Bridge terror attack
Authorities said 21 people remained in critical condition Sunday after a rampage at the iconic London Bridge and a nearby market that left seven dead and dozens more injured.

She called for tougher measures to contain Islamic extremism, saying the recent attacks are not directly linked, but “terrorism breeds terrorism.” President Trump responded to the terror attacks by taking aim at London’s mayor, political correctness and gun control. Also Sunday, Ariana Grande held her One Love Manchester benefit concert, two weeks after a bomber killed 22 people at her Manchester Arena show.
