An attacker using a knife and a car killed four and wounded dozens at the British Parliament and nearby Westminster Bridge. ISIL has claimed responsibility for the attack, calling the assailant one of its “soldiers.”
British Prime Minister Theresa May addressed Parliament after the attacks saying, “we are not afraid.”
“And our resolve will never waver in the face of terrorism.”
Thousands of Londoners and tourists flocked to the city’s Trafalgar Square to pay respects to those lost and injured in the attacks.
