Remember Britain had been attacked on Westminster bridge in March and Manchester in May. Other attacks had been foiled in between, ISIS soldiers have been returning to Britain and it's Ramadan.
Theresa May raised the terror alert level to severe on May 23.

Mrs May also announced that troops would replace police officers at set-piece events including sports venues and concerts.
It will be the first time since 2003 – when the Government reacted to a plot to bring down an airliner – that troops are deployed on the streets.
With the FA Cup final this weekend, Mrs May acted on the advice of the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre after chairing two meetings of the Cobra emergency committee.
Security will also be stepped up at major public events and terrorist targets such as railway stations and airports.
It is the first time Britain has been on maximum terrorist alert since 2007, when a blazing car loaded with gas canisters was driven into Glasgow Airport.

The source said: “There’s only a few hundred SAS in total and there are thousands of armed police. It will always be the police on the scene first.”

Mr Kirkham warned "the streets of London have been lost" to knife crime and accused Theresa May of being "criminally negligent with the safety of the public" as she slashed funding and clamped down on stop-and-search tactics.
The Prime Minister said police were able to "significantly increase the number of armed officers on patrol in key locations" because of measures taken after Salman Abedi killed 22 people in a suicide bomb attack at Manchester Arena last month.
But Mr Kirkham said: "The police service is in crisis as a result of the cuts. They are being dragged from pillar to post. We hear talk of extra police officers on the street.
"They aren't extra, they are officers that have had to have their rare leave days cancelled, they have had their 12-hour shifts that are now done routinely being extended to 16 hours, they are being drawn from other areas."
When Sky News anchor Kay Burley asked him to comment on claims there were more armed officers on patrol than ever before, Mr Kirkham said "people that are alleging that are lying" and confirmed he was referring to the Government.
