The opening as it read in 2020

Stabbing attack 51°30′29″N 0°05′16″W  /  51.50806°N 0.08778°W  / 51.50806; -0.08778 On 29 November 2019, five people were stabbed, two fatally, in Central London .1 The attacker, Briton Usman Khan , had been released from prison in 2018 on licence after serving a sentence for terrorist offences. Khan was attending an offender rehabilitation conference in Fishmongers' Hall when he threatened to detonate what turned out to be a fake suicide vest and started attacking people with two knives taped to his wrists, killing two of the conference participants by stabbing them in the chest. Several people fought back, some attacking Khan with a fire extinguisher and a narwhal tusk as he fled the building and emerged on to London Bridge, where he was partially disarmed by a plain-clothes police officer. He was restrained by members of the public until additional police officers arrived, pulled away those restraining him, and shot him dead.
