LONDON (AP) - A 19-year-old Somali-Norwegian man accused of carrying out a stabbing attack in London has been remanded into custody after a court appearance today.
Zakaria Bulhan is accused of killing 64-year-old American Darlene Horton, a retired teacher. Bulhan also faces five counts of attempted murder in Wednesday's attack, which also injured another American, two Australians, an Israeli and a British citizen.
Horton was visiting London with her husband, Florida State University psychology professor Richard Wagner, who had been teaching summer classes in London. The couple had been due to fly home the next day.
Bulhan, who moved to Britain as a child, mumbled his name, address and date of birth during the hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court. When asked if he understood the charges, he gave a thumbs-up gesture. He will appear at the Central London Criminal Court on Aug. 9.
