EERIE AFTERMATH

Haunting pictures show abandoned buses and cars and scattered medical supplies as forensic cops take away jihadi killer’s B&Q rental van

THESE are the chilling images which show the aftermath of the London Bridge terror attack which claimed the lives of seven innocent people with 48 others injured.

Medical supplies scattered across the streets are a sickening reminder of Saturday night's atrocity which saw three terrorists leaving a trail of death and destruction as they went on a stabbing spree.

Images from the scene show abandoned buses and cars at the heart of the capital as armed police and forensic officers continue to patrol London Bridge and Borough Market.

Other snaps show discarded medical equipment as medics dispatched to the scene battled to saved those injured.

It comes as footage recorded by a taxi dash-cam shows the chaotic scene moments after the trio ploughed into pedestrians before launching their knife attack.

Victims can be seen strewn across the road and people are seen running for their lives.

Emergency service vehicles rush past as cars try to scramble out of their way in the aftermath of Saturday night’s events.

Groups are seen huddling on the footpath, others attending to injured victims, and some people simply just run across the bridge away from the area.

The killers used a Hertz and B&Q rental van to carry out the attack – just months after ISIS encouraged Hertz vehicle massacres.

Images featured in the group’s Rumiyah magazine in November showed a mocked up picture of a Hertz truck alongside an article calling for more vehicle massacres.

The truck the trio used to mow down pedestrians on London Bridge before stabbing dozens more featured the B&Q and Hertz logos similar to rentals advertised online.

These vehicles are advertised for rental for as little as £20 for two hours.

The B&Q website states that renters must be over 21, have held a valid licence for the past 12 months and have a credit or debit card registered in their own name.

It adds: "Registration is simple and you can be on the road in minutes!"

All three of the depraved attackers were shot and killed outside the Wheatsheaf pub within eight minutes of the first call to emergency services after brave cops rushed to protect the public.

Meanwhile, sick ISIS supporters celebrating last night's horrific attack in London have posted photos online taunting the RAF and British government.

A photo shared among pro-ISIS accounts featured the RAF's "love from Manchester" bomb that was dropped on jihadis in the Middle East in the wake of the Manchester Arena attack.

But the depraved fanatics captioned it: "This is your merchandise and tonight we've responded."
