A 'knifeman' who regularly prayed at Regent's Park mosque 'stabbed a Muslim crier in the shoulder' while he called worshippers to afternoon prayers in an incident the police say is not an act of terror. The victim has been named by mosque-goers as Raafat, aged 69. He is the muezzin at the London Central Mosque, near Regent's Park and calls Muslims to prayer. One witness said the suspect was a regular in the mosque and had been seen at least six months ago, adding that the victim was stabbed in the right shoulder. It is believed that the attacker had waited until prayers had started before launching at the victim. Police were called to the mosque just after 3pm today and found the man with stab wounds. Paramedics treated him at the scene before he was taken to hospital. Officers remain on the scene this evening and another prayer hall as been opened while police continue with their investigations.

More than three in four Americans say they are very confident or somewhat confident in the US federal government's ability to handle a coronavirus outbreak, a Gallup poll has found, a higher level of confidence than in previous health scares. Gallup said the results were from a February 3 to February 16 poll that began just days after the Trump administration announced it would suspend entry of foreign nationals who had been to China in the previous two weeks. About 31 percent of respondents said they were very confident and 46 percent said they were somewhat confident in the federal government's ability to handle an outbreak. Only 22 percent said they were not too confident or not confident at all. The combined positive rating of 77 percent compares with 64 percent during the 2017 Zika virus outbreak, 58 percent during the 2014 Ebola virus outbreak and 67 percent during the 2009 H1N1/Swine Flu outbreak, Gallup said.
