At least one dead, a dozen injured in terror attack near UK parliament

The UK parliament is in lockdown after a terror attack outside the House during question time and on Westminster Bridge, where a car plowed into pedestrians injuring a dozen people. One woman has died in hospital. The vehicle carried on driving towards Parliament and crashed through the railings into the yard. At the same time, an assailant, possibly the dirver, entered Parliament, stabbed a policeman and was quickly shot by armed police. The Speaker suspended the session and told members to remain in place after Prime Minister Theresa May was rushed out into a waiting car by plainclothes police. Anti-terror police and firearms experts are sweeping the building after treating the attack as a terrorist incident.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
