A fellow whose name is being kept from the media attacked in London yesterday, killing three people and injuring scores, including Kurt Cochran, an American from Utah, as reported by The Guardian<\/a>. Cochran’s widow is still in the hospital being treated for her injuries. The terrorist was killed by police – a good guy with a gun – after the criminal mowed down several people with his car and then went on a stabbing spree with knife. <\/p>\n

Sorry, no gun was needed.<\/p>\n

CNN <\/a>reports that police have arrested eight others in connection with terrorism plots.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Theresa May revealed the perpetrator was British born and once linked to violent extremism, in a statement to Parliament a day after it was locked down when the assailant breached its perimeter.<\/p>\n

May said the attacker — whose rampage claimed three lives and injured 40 — had been investigated by security services but was regarded as a “peripheral figure.” Authorities did not know he was about to mount an assault, she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ISIS has taken credit for the actions of this fellow, according to the UK’s Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Amaq News Agency, seen as the terror group’s official press service, report the attacker was “a soldier of Islamic State”.<\/p>\n

The terror group does not provide the name of the attacker who killed three people before he was shot dead by police.<\/p>\n

The Amaq statement said: “The perpetrator of the attacks yesterday in front of the British parliament in London is an Islamic State soldier and he carried out the operation in response to calls to target citizens of the coalition.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mick sends a link to BBC<\/a> which reports on the heroic actions of Member of Parliament Tobias Ellwood while he worked to save the life of the police officer stabbed by the terrorist;<\/p>\n

Mr Ellwood, a Conservative MP and former Army officer, performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on PC Palmer in New Palace Yard, Westminster.<\/p>\n

Four people, including the police officer and the attacker, died.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So many lessons here – it’s what happens when we don’t have the will to fight terrorists “over there”, and the government can’t protect us from the known terrorists, so let us arm ourselves. <\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> The UK’s Sun<\/a> names the killer;<\/p>\n

THE British-born attacker behind the deadly attack on Westminster has been named by police as Khalid Masood,<\/p>\n

Masood, 52, who was shot dead by Defence Secretary Michael Fallon\u2019s security guard, had once been investigated by MI5 over violent extremism.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
