TERROR IN LONDON

Agony and Grief Over London

Around 2.40 pm. of the 23rd March 2017 an attacker, driving a grey Hyundai at high speed, hit several pedestrians on a pavement of Westminster Bridge.   He, then, rushed through the gates of the Houses of Parliament and stabbed an unarmed police officer before being shot by the police.  Both the assailant and his victim, later, died in hospital.  Five people were confirmed dead and at least 40 injured, including three French schoolchildren. by this horrific terrorist attack.

Moreover, this heinous assault took place on the anniversary of the ISIS bomb attacks in Brussels,  bringing death and terror to Westminster, a highly symbolic location.

Apparently, the attacker was an Asian in his 40s and the police suspect that "he was inspired by international terrorism".  

Most countries of the civilized world sent messages of solidarity and support to the British government, and the Scotish Parliament suspended the mandate for the new independence referendum, due to the terror attack.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims' families and with all Londoners for their courage and bravery.
