London Knife Attack – level 2

06-12-2019 15:00

A recent knife attack killed two people and injured others at London Bridge. Police shot and killed the attack suspect.

In 2012, the same attack suspect went to jail because of a plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange. In 2018, officials let him out from jail with a long list of license conditions.

The UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, is ordering a license condition review of 74 other people who went to jail for terrorism and left early. He said that if people go to jail for terrorism, they should go for at least 14 years or not be let out.

Difficult words: suspect (a person who police think that he did something), plot (a secret plan), license condition (rules that a person who went to jail must follow when he is free from jail).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
