Trump speaks to May following London attacks

“He clearly had intent and was determined”, Dr Patman said about 52-year-old Khalid Masood, who yesterday fatally stabbed a police officer in Westminster, after ploughing a auto into pedestrians, killing two and injuring 40.

Of the 11 people held after the attack, a 32-year-old woman arrested in Manchester, and a 39-year-old woman arrested in east London, were released on bail until late March while seven had been set free with no further action.

The Metropolitan Police said two men, aged 27 and 58, both from Birmingham where attacker Khalid Masood was living, are still in custody for questioning under the Terrorism Act.

Eight arrests have been made following six raids conducted in London and Birmingham, police confirmed.

The assailant – who police officials believe they identified but have not yet publicly named – was shot and killed by law enforcement officers.

Three police officers were also wounded.

The British Parliament was put on lockdown after the assailant stabbed an officer, then was shot by the police. His most recent was in December 2003 for possession of a knife.

“We are not afraid and our resolve will never waver in the face of terrorism”, May said on Thursday, adding that the security level would remain severe.

The second floor flat and surrounding area were cordoned off.

Meanwhile, police will review security at the Carriage Gates, through which the attacker entered.

Joseph Downing, from the London School of Economics, expressed scepticism over ISIL’s claim.

‘Once again today, these exceptional men and women ran towards the danger, even as they encouraged others to move the other way’.

Four people were killed and 40 injured after being run over and stabbed in a lightning attack at Westminster Bridge.

Unlike most police in Britain, many officers guarding parliament do carry guns, although not all of them. Palmer, a husband and father, was unarmed.

MI5 intelligence sources and Prime Minister Theresa May called Masood a “peripheral figure” in the world of jihadis. And then the emergency services started to arrive.

Downing Street said Prime Minister Theresa May was safe, and she was seen getting into a auto and being driven away from the parliament where she had been holding her weekly question-and-answer session a couple of hours earlier.

He told The Irish Times how he saw the vehicle involved in the attack plough into a railing.

Armed officers, some in plain clothes and wearing balaclavas, swarmed around the yard just feet from where MPs had earlier attended Prime Minister’s Questions.

Some people suffered catastrophic injuries in the incident, British news agency the Press Association reported, citing a doctor at St Thomas’s Hospital which is located directly across the River Thames from parliament.

The IS statement did not name the attacker or provide other details.
