The Guardian: London tube attacker shouted ‘This is for Syria’ during stabbing
Police investigating terrorist incident after man injures three people during assault at Leytonstone underground station
A man allegedly shouted “This is for Syria” as he launched a knife attack on three people at a London underground station in what police have described as a terrorist incident.
The Metropolitan police’s counter-terrorism command is investigating the stabbing in Leytonstone, in which witnesses claimed the attacker said “blood will be spilled”.
A man believed to be aged 56 suffered knife wounds that were serious but not believed to be life-threatening, while two other people sustained minor injuries in Saturday’s attack.
WNU Editor: Quite a contrast between the U.S. and the U.K.. Person yells "this is for Syria" and stabs 3 people in the London subway system .... considered to be an act of terrorism almost instantly. Shooters go on a rampage in California with one boasting that "this is for ISIS" .... the government waits till the next day, and after much criticism with overwhelming evidence .... grudgingly admits that it was an act of terrorism.

The former having already happened must have helped the latter. You don't want to cry the alarm too soon for fear of public backlash, but the public was much more prepared. Then again the debate about the bombing helped prepare it too.
