Finsbury Park mosque attacker Darren Osborne has been charged with terrorism-related offences, said London police.

The 47-year-old from Cardiff was also charged with attempted murder following the incident in the early hours of Monday that injured nine people and left one dead.

The attacker crashed a van into worshippers leaving a local mosque after evening prayers in north London.

"He will appear at Westminster magistrates court on 23 June in relation to these charges," the Guardian quoted a statement from the Crown Prosecution Service as saying.
