They are saying the attack has all the hallmarks of an ISIS inspired attack although no one has claimed responsibility.
Four now confirmed dead.

Sounds like the attacker is one of the dead. Bastard.

The attacker is one of the dead as is the Policeman he stabbed.

It seems that some of the injured on the bridge were French schoolkids

Oh no!!
Is there a count on the number of critically injured? Is the fatality count expected to increase?

Last time i was in London i walked that exact route. No fear of terrorists then. Even the IRA had taken a backseat. Very sad to see what is one of my favorite cities reduced to this level by religious extremism.
Re: Terrorist attack in London
Having watched as lot on this on TV yesterday, the reaction speed of the security services was impressive.

Armed police on Worcester streets today. Can't remember the last time that happened - if ever.

Texan redneck sparks Twitter storm
"Internet users have rushed to the defence of a woman who was accused of ignoring victims of London's terror rampage.
As much of the world came to grips with the reality of the London terror attack, some Twitter users seemed more focused on a woman photographed not stopping to tend to a victim on Westminster Bridge.
It’s unknown who the woman was speaking to or what her intentions were, however Twitter user Texas Lone Star ignited the fury by tweeting the photo with the caption: “Muslim woman pays no mind to terror attack, casually walks by a dying man while checking phone”.
One day later, the photo has been shared thousands of times, with the majority condemning those who shamed the "clearly distressed" woman.
"You have no idea of the context here. She could have been letting loved ones know that she was safe. Stop spreading hate," Emily Beavan wrote in the woman's defence."

Nice to see a "balanced" Tweet from a rabid Trump supporter.
This photo shows how out of context the Tweet was...

Sounds like it was again a (white) guy with a violent history who became a recent convert to Islam.
"The terrorist who brought carnage to Westminster was a Muslim convert and violent criminal known to the security services, it emerged last night, as the death toll rose to five.
Khalid Masood, 52, who stabbed PC Keith Palmer to death outside the Palace of Westminster after mowing down pedestrians on the nearby bridge, had had at least two spells in prison, raising concerns that he may have been radicalised behind bars.
Masood was born Adrian Elms in Dartford, Kent, and brought up by a single parent in the seaside town of Rye, East Sussex, before a religious conversion, sources confirmed. After he was shot dead, Islamic State hailed Masood as “one of its soldiers”."

Wonder if he was converted in jail, he had a long rap sheet.
Think of what he could've done twenty years ago. I can remember security around there being a joke and happy about it..

Seems to me that Islam converts are quite often more zealous than those born into it, like that qunt of a Principal at Punchbowl Boys High school.

Well yes because you don't have choice to be born into it.

Wonder if there will be any arrests or similar publicity arising from this inquiry into the deaths of up to 200 civilians in Mosul. The deaths were caused by US led air bombing.

Omelets and eggs horrie. Though you'd expect arch qunts like IS to use civilians like that.
Shouldn't have been there in the first place. Like the US has given a rat's in the past about human rights as long as the Thug-in-Charge played nice at the grownups table.

Spot on qmy. ISIL or simple collateral damage.
The point is that since Vietnam, the US and its mates inc our in lock step country has strictly controlled reporting in its conflict zones.
The madness of retaliation from wackos in Oz, the US and UK gets 1000 times the column inches about atrocities in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan etc.
This lack of balance promotes hysteria in the west.
