Part 4/11:
In the immediate aftermath, British authorities activated Operation Plato—an emergency protocol for terror incidents—and officially categorized the incident as terrorism. Bomb disposal teams were deployed after suspicious items were found on the attacker, leading to a controlled explosion. Investigators believe they have identified the attacker but have yet to release his identity. Two arrests were made during the investigation, with further details withheld to preserve operational integrity.
While images circulated showing the suspect dressed in black with a beard, officials stressed that there is no current threat to the broader public. Residents were advised to avoid the area as authorities conducted their inquiries.
