Daesh Claims Responsibility for Stabbing Attack in South London

"The perpetrator of the attack in Streatham district in south London yesterday is a fighter of Daesh, and carried out the attack in response to calls to attack the citizens of coalition countries," a statement carried by Amaq on Monday said, Reuters reported.

The assailant in Sunday's attack, who was shot dead by police, had previously praised Daesh and shared an online al Qaeda magazine.
