Some good news here. There was no terrorist attack at Oxford Circus in London. Earlier reports claimed gunshots were fired at Oxford Circus and people went running for cover. Turns out it was just a false alarm and everybody is ok.

You can’t blame the initial reaction of UK police at Oxford Circus, thinking there was a terrorist attack. There have been two major attacks in the UK already this year and they are almost common know all around Europe. Police in the UK did what they have to do in case another Islamic terrorist decides to go Allahu Ackbar.
Of course, with it being Black Friday, Oxford Circus seemed like a perfect, soft target for ISIS and Islamic terrorists to hit. That’s why the initial reaction was that it was a terrorist attack.
There still was a major terrorist attack today, in Egypt. Over 200 people were killed at a mosque in Sinai, Egypt. That doesn’t seem to warrant any media attention though.
