Four people including the assailant
were killed in a terror attack in London Wednesday, Scotland
Yard said.
The suspected terrorist, who was described as a 40-year-old
Asian, drove his SUV into a crowd on Westminster Bridge, killing
two people including a woman and injuring 20 others, some
critically, before stabbing dead a policeman in the British
Parliament compound.
The identity of the fourth victim is not yet known.
The assailant was shot dead after trying to get into
parliament, where Premier Theresa May was hustled out of the
building.
No Italians were involved in the attack, the Italian
consulate in the British capital said.
An Italian police officer employed at the consulate went to
the scene to help assess the situation, it said.
ISIS supporters hailed the attack, the SITE website said,
saying it was "revenge" for British bombing of Mosul and saying
"blood for blood".
