(BBC) The ambulance service responding to the Reading stabbings said there was a delay in learning it was a terrorist attack, an inquest has heard.
South Central Ambulance Service was told the murders in Forbury Gardens [were] a “marauding terrorist attack” almost 90 minutes after police declared it.
Khairi Saadallah killed James Furlong, 36, Dr David Wails, 49, and Joseph Ritchie-Bennett, 39, in June 2020.
An inquest at the Old Bailey heard the delay had no “causative impact.”
Police declared Operation Plato, also known as the national identifier for the response to a marauding terrorist attack, after reports Saadallah, a Libyan refugee, fatally stabbed three men and injured three others — Stephen Young, Patrick Edwards and Nishit Nisudan.
