Eiffel Tower goes dark to honour London terror attack victims

President Emmanuel Macron stressed the importance of European cooperation to fight terrorism in a phone call with UK Prime Minister Theresa May.

"Tonight, at 12:45 am, I will turn my lights off to pay tribute to the victims of the London attack," the Eiffel Tower's Twitter feed said.

The Paris landmark has been switched off twice already this week, once for the victims of suicide blasts in Baghdad that killed at least 42 people and most recently to honour the 90 people killed in a huge truck bomb in Kabul.

Besides, cities around the world have also paid their respects to the victims of the London terror attack, hours after seven people were killed and a further 48 injured by armed extremists in the capital./.
