Two Killed, Several Injured in London Terror Attack

Two people have died and other people are being treated for “catastrophic” injuries after an attack near parliament on Wednesday, British news agency Press Association reported, citing a junior doctor at a central London hospital.

An attacker stabbed a police officer and was shot by police on the grounds outside Britain’s Parliament, sending the compound into lockdown Wednesday. Around the same time, a vehicle mowed down pedestrians on nearby Westminster Bridge. Authorities said they were treating the attack as a “terrorist incident until we know otherwise.”

It was not clear how many people were injured or whether more than one attacker was involved. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

    I’ve been watching the BBC news on television and it’s been updated to 3 dead and 20 injured–one poor lady was pulled out of the river Thames alive but with horrible injuries. Parliament was still in lockdown when I was watching. We need Moshiach now!

  • no one special

    England is incapable of recognizing who are friends and who are enemies; a very old British failing.

  • word correction

    when people ‘die’ in this context, the descriptive word you should be using was either killed, or more appropriately murdered. die is what happens when one dies peacefully after living a good life, or due to illness.

    #3) just look at what the politically correct left wing liberal judges are doing to the United States with their ruling on immigration. When and if it occurs here, Heaven forfend, then what???

    The Rebbe spoke oft about the importance of Jewish pride and identity.
    However, we have allowed political correctness and left wing liberalism to override the words the Rebbe and saqnctioned this ideology in order to resurrect a completely debunked and rejected legalistic system of pre and post World War One approach to International Law to overrule what is beneficial for a nation-state, in this instance– Israel. through the promotion of the use of NGO ( which have no legal authority or standing) and political correctness
    What is worse, is these groups in Israel do this on account of furthering the cause of understanding and peace with those groups financed by Israel’s enemies like George Soros who sole objective is to destroy Israel. When will Israel ever learn that their very existence as an independent nation-state is always on trial?

    What do they expect? Radical Islamists are alive & well in the UK, because of Britain’s inability & unwillingness to accept the truth & deal with them. Neville Chamberlain’s ostrich mentality all over again.
