Chris Hayes: London Attackers Not Terrorists, ‘These Are Just Murderers’

On Thursday MSNBC's Chris Hayes referred to yesterday's attackers in London as a murderers instead of terrorists. This contradicts what British Prime Minster David Cameron said today while addressing yesterdays attacks, "This country will be absolutely resolute in its stand against violent extremism and terror. We will never give in to terror or terrorism in any of its forms." The British government has also classified yesterdays incident as a terrorist attack.

MARTIN BASHIR: What was your reaction to when the president actually said that the war of terror must end?

CHRIS HAYES: Incredibly

BASHIR: Because given the circumstances in which we're living, yesterday in London, two lunatics out of nowhere. With no connection to any terrorist nexus or organization decide to hack a British soldier to death in the name of Allah, as they said. Where does the war end?

HAYES: Well, this I thought that was such an important point. He says at one point, we cannot allow any group of thugs that calls itself Al Qaeda to bait us into an endless war. The point is, the Tsarnaev brothers who the Vice President called knockoff jihadist. These two suspects, I mean, hard to say suspects when you see them killing someone on camera, in London, they may say that they're some affiliate of something. These are just murderers. These are murderers.
