Five people were killed and nearly 40 injured when a terrorist suspect mowed down pedestrians on a bridge and stabbed a police officer close to the British parliament complex in an incident inspired by "international terrorism".
Those dead included the assailant and the policeman he stabbed. The attacker was shot dead by Scotland Yard officers.
