Description

British police have made seven arrests in armed raids after an attack near Parliament that left four people dead and around 40 injured, the country’s top antiterrorism officer said on Thursday. In what police called a terrorist incident, authorities worked around the clock to piece together what happened when the attacker drove an SUV into several pedestrians on nearby Westminster Bridge, then charged at a policeman at the Parliament gates, stabbing him to death with a large knife before being gunned down by officers. Parliament was locked down for several hours, and police evacuated hundreds of MPs and visitors to nearby Westminster Abbey and the Metropolitan Police headquarters.
