London Police Investigating Knife Attack in Metro Station 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
In London, police are investigating Saturday's knife attack on a man at
an East London metro station as a terrorist attack. The police say they
were told the attacker shouted, "This is for Syria." Richard Walton,
counterterrorism police chief, said the attacker's motives are still
unknown.

Richard Walton: "It's too early to be absolutely certain about the
motives for this attack. Obviously, the Counter Terrorism Command is
investigating it. We've got a number of lines of inquiry, and we're
pursuing this investigation with some speed to determine what happened,
how it happened, and particularly the motive that lies behind the
attack."
