British Parliamentary elections to take place as scheduled: PM May

British Prime Minister Theresa May has announced that the general elections slated for Thursday will go ahead as planned despite another terrorist attack on London Bridge and Borough Market in the city today which left seven people dead and 48 injured. 

She spoke outside Downing Street after she chaired the emergency COBRA meeting with senior security chiefs following the two attacks. May said violence can never be allowed to disrupt the democratic process. She said the national



campaigning will resume tomorrow. 

The British Prime Minister said the recent terror attacks in the United Kingdom are bound together by the single evil ideology of Islamist extremism. She revealed that the UK's security and intelligence services have disrupted "five credible plots" since the Parliament attack in London in March. 

The British Prime Minister announced that she plans to review the UK's counter-terror legislation.
