According to the Mail, a knife-wielding attacker was shot by armed police in the grounds of Parliament today after pedestrians were mowed down on Westminster Bridge.

More than 10 people are said to have been hit by a car on Westminster Bridge after a vehicle described as a ’4×4′ SUV reportedly drove into pedestrians and cyclists.
The alleged vehicle that mowed down people
A ‘middle-aged’ armed intruder then managed to break into the grounds of the Houses of Parliament and stabbed a police officer before he was shot, reports suggest.
Three injured people were seen on the floor outside Parliament and the Palace was placed on an immediate lock down.
Prime Minister Theresa May is said to have been bundled into a car by a plain-clothes police officer and driven quickly from the scene.
It is thought a lone attacker drove the vehicle across Westminster Bridge before crashing into a fence at the Houses of Parliament and getting into the grounds. He is then said to have stabbed a police officer before he was shot by another policeman.
Commons Leader David Lidington told MPs a ‘police officer has been stabbed’ and the ‘alleged assailant was shot by armed police’ following a ‘serious’ incident within the parliamentary estate. The House of Commons was suspended by Deputy Speaker Lindsay Hoyle. MPs have been ordered to wait inside the Commons chamber.
People outside the palace could be seen running from the scene when the shots were heard. An eye witness said that a car was seen to mow down five people on Westminster Bridge. Police are then believed to have shot a man who tried to enter the Parliamentary Estate.
The Air Ambulance landed in to Parliament Square.
Twelve police cars and vans were outside the Palace in the moments after the incident. The dramatic incident comes weeks after it was revealed that UK security services have foiled 13 potential attacks in less than four years, while counter-terrorism units are running more than 500 investigations at any time.
The official threat level for international terrorism has stood at severe, meaning an attack is ‘highly likely’, for more than two years. Liberal Democrat transport spokeswoman Baroness Randerson said countries seem to have been ‘singled out based on religious beliefs’.
‘Of course safety is paramount at all times and we all need to remain vigilant but this ban needs to be explained in detail,’ she said.

There is much more of this to come. we are at war with this filthy barbaric faith and all it’s followers.
our problem is that they are amongst us, and they are outbreeding us.
unless we banish this most toxic of religions right now, it will soon be too late. much more bloodshed to come folks!
They are almost as toxic as fundementalist Christians. But not quite.
All religions are equally ridiculous.
It was not very long ago that American christians were buying guns and bombs to kill innocent women,men and children in Northern Ireland.
However, right now, islam needs to be ejected from the UK, Europe and America.
There is no such thing as a moderate muslim.
Where were the moderate germans when the nazi party came to power?
Where were the moderate russians when stalin killed millions?
These lunatic,mysogenistic,be-heading lovers need to fester in their own crappy cesspits,
not in the civilised west. We are commiting cultural suicide, or just suicide..period.
WOW!!
gotta admit that is efficient censorship BIN!!!
i just had to even just mention christians and the terrorist IRA connection and the whole thread is immediately removed from the forums.
CONGRATULATIONS on your efficient censorship. Very prompt!!!
allah would be proud of you!
The religion of peace strikes again .All the people of europe must rise up against the muslim invaders because the governments of europe are incapable of protecting its citizens.
too late. the mayor of london is a muslim.
the most favoured chosen name of baby boy’s in the UK is mohammed or versions of it.
need i say more.
This is the 40-Day “Season of Sacrifice”: March 19th or 22nd to May 1st which is traditional ritual for Dark Cults who carries out false flag terrorist attacks against humanity keeping the masses in FEAR, panic etc for world domination.
Time has reached for people to become aware for this insanity but they’re still allow to be misled, manipulated, deceive etc by such entities. We would hear more of these extremist attacks during this period & maybe after this period we (humans) do not END their
game.
Yup …FALSE FLAG.
Counterfeit currencies are going down the pan and Politicians & Banksters will be exposed as the LYING THIEVING LUCIFERIAN MURDEROUS PARASITIC FAKE joos that they are.
THEY are “popping-off” FALSE FLAGS as an EXCUSE to LOCK DOWN a populace THEY FEAR.
