Terror suspect attacks Buckingham Palace
According to Die Welt, a terror suspect was taken into custody when he assaulted Buckingham Palace with a sword;
British counterterrorism police were in investigating a man Saturday who drove a car at police outside Buckingham Palace and then attacked the officers with a 4-foot sword.
The man was quickly subdued with pepper spray by the unarmed police. But he injured three officers, two of whom were hospitalized with light injuries, as was the attacker. The 26-year-old man from Luton, a London suburb 30 miles (50 km) north of the capital, has been taken to a London police station for questioning.
Police believe that he was operating alone;
“The officers acted very quickly to detain him. During a struggle the three officers sustained minor injuries. The man, who repeatedly shouted “Allahu Akbar,” which means “God is great,” was incapacitated with (pepper) spray,” police said.
Meanwhile, across the channel;
The attack occurred just an hour after a machete-wielding terror suspect attacked soldiers in Belgium – he was shot dead.

They should’ve let the Palace Guards smoke his ass. I understand they don’t take kindly to attacks on HM The Queen.
They moved the actual bearskin hat palace guards inside the fence in the late 80’s. It was probably “Bobbies” who dealt with him bur regardless, he should have been DOT not pepper sprayed.
You bet, “smoke his ass”! lead works a hell of a lot better than pepper and its permanent!
Damn! Roy Larner (F**k you! I’m Millwall!) wasn’t there to put a stop to it.
I hope the nutcase didn’t do much harm to the police officers, but I wondered just how long it would be before something like this happened. Queen Elizabeth is 91, for Pete’s sake. You’d think the terrorats would give her a break.
No, Brits don’t like it when someone tries to attack their Queen.
yeah, just don’t write anything about radical islam or you’ll face jail time for hate speech.
Those Amish tourists are plumb out of control…

The old adage says to never bring a knife/sword to a gun fight unless the person you are attacking does not have a gun. Makes sense, right!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Here we go again-That was a real close “shave” for those Bobbies. I admire them for not “cutting” out when the perp attacked. Bobbies should be issued bull whips for non lethal methods for disarming perps while singing My San Antonio Rose. they can take online youtube lessons watching Lash Larue and Whip Wilson B-Westerns
Waiting for the London mayor to point out it was the guards’ fault for getting in the way of a cultural sword dance and apologizing to the local Mormon community.
In past ages he would be swinging from a gibbet in Tyburn castle. Or hanged from same on the london docks until his body rotted away.
So, on the Continent, the nice, progressive Euro Mainland. The place that is filled with Joy and Unicorns, they shoot terrorist (Bravo!) but in England they get into WWE style tag team matches with them? I think I like the Warm and Progressive way of doing things.
