Parliament terrorist died from single shot to chest

London terror attacker Khalid Masood died from a single gunshot wound to chest, an inquest into his death was told today.

No police officers are under criminal or misconduct investigation over the shooting, the UK's police watchdog said.


The Independent Police Complaints Commissions investigator Christopher Lovett told the court its inquiry into the shooting will look at "organisational learning" and will highlight good practice.

Masood drove his car into pedestrians, killing three people, before fatally stabbing a police officer on March 22.

"The incident lasted approximately 82 seconds - from the first time the vehicle mounted the pavement until the attacker was shot by police. CCTV and other images obtained from witnesses provide a clear visual chronology of how the events unfolded," Lovett told the coroners court.

Masood, a British national born Adrian Russell Ajao, died at the scene after being shot by police.

The inquest into the 52-year-olds death was opened at Westminster Coroners Court and adjourned until May.

Britain puts £65m behind farmers as drought starts threatening the country’s food supply

  • Farmers in England will receive an additional £65m in support.
  • £15m will help fund on-farm reservoirs for future dry periods.
  • Britain is facing its third drought in five years.

Britain is putting £65 million into emergency support for farmers as the country's prolonged drought begins to threaten not just agricultural incomes but the reliability of its food supply.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced the package on August 15, after England and Wales recorded their driest July on record. The support will go towards sustainable farming, new on-farm reservoirs and making it easier for farmers to access water during periods of shortage.
