FOXNEWSW Special Report With Bret Baier November 29, 2019

Mike. This attack on the hague is still an active scene. First responders and Law Enforcement are out there in full force as we speak. Its still way too early for any kind of analysis here and authorities not commenting now on whether they suspect terrorism links or any links to the terrorist attack earlier today at London Bridge. An eyewitness captured the horror as it unfolded during the busiest shopping day of the year. Take a listen. Heres what we do know from dutch police now. Several people were attacked by one man out on the street. There are three wounded so far. And they are all minors. Police were initially looking for a male suspect about 45 years old wearing a gray track suit. But the chief of police now says that description is wrong. This attack took place on what is a very crowded shopping street. The pedestrians started running and screaming. See some of the holiday lights and decorations in the background. Sources on the ground there say very if he has been neighborhood throughout the entire holiday seasonal. Multiple eyewitnesses are claiming the stabbing itself took place inside a store called hudsons bay. But, again, the police chief says the attack was out on the street. Its also important to point out this city isnt new to this type of event. Two people were stabbed in the hague in february. And two americans were injured in a stabbing in amsterdam almost exactly one year ago. Prosecutors have since then tied that attack to terrorist groups. So now the milliondollar question for dutch police is whether this attack is terrorrelated and whether it has any link to the London Attack. Also important to note that in an unrelated event today, isis claims they pledged new recruits in the country of aer is by john as the London Bridge terror attack was unfolding. Its likely isis timed this to coincide with the London Attack whether they have any ties to it or not to try and prove their relevance in the wake of their leader abu backer al baghdadys death mike. Several weeks ago. Mike talking with european counterparts to have the very latest and make sure we are ready here. Probably already ready. Mike thanks so much. You bet. Mike lets go live to the british capital and correspondent Benjamin Hall. Good evening, benjamin . Good evening, mike. In fact, this attack comes just weeks after the British Security services lowered the Terror Threat level in the u. K. Because there had been a period of relative calm. Well, today, that calm has been shatter you had. The attacks began just before 2 00 p. M. Local time when a man with a large knife began stabbing people along London Bridge, leaving two people dead and three others injured. It was extremely frightening, yes. Because you dont know what to do. You heard the gunshots. You just dont know what to do. You think why is gunshots firing off in london, again . It was the Quick Response of passers by that are being credited with preventing this from being worse. Videos show members of the public grappling with the attacker, taking a large knife from him and holding him down. Armed officers arrived just five minutes later and isolated the man before he opened his jacket to reveal what looked like an explosive device. He was shot and killed immediately. I havent confirmed at this time we believe a device that was strapped to the body of the suspect is a hoax explosive device. Now, the investigations begin. Police will be working to i. D. Him. Combing his social media and cell phone records to learn whether he was part of a Wider Network and if there is an ongoing threat. Prime minister Boris Johnson today took time off the campaign trail to brief President Trump and respond. I think the message that we send to them and anyone associated with this type of attack is one that will be familiar. And that is that this country will never be cowed or divided or intimidated by this sort of attack. London bridge itself was the scene of another terror attack in 2017 in which 8 people died. On that occasion, the three attackers used a van to run people over before attacking people with knives. They were also wearing hoax vests and were shot dead. And just breaking in the last hour, mike. According to sky news over here, the suspect in that attack was a recently released terrorist prisoner who is believed to be wearing an ankle security tag.

From around 13,000 to just under 9,000. Keeping a promise said the president at the time, to bring our troops home.
