The Islamic State of Iraq and Sham has claimed responsibility for Wednesday’s attack in London, England.

The attack left four people dead after the assailant drove along the sidewalk of a bridge and stabbed a police officer. The attacker was shot dead.

This comes months after ISIS announced that 2017 would be “a year of massacre” at the end of last year.

With ISIS constantly making headlines, their activity can be hard to track. Some people are often confused as to how they were established in the first place.
