#BreakingNews death toll from UK attack rises to 5 including terrorist - Please PRAY


A man identified as Khalid Masood, 52, is behind the deadly attacks Wednesday in London outside Britain's Parliament. This killed four people, including a police officer, outside the UK Parliament on Wednesday. The British police called it an act of "Islamist-related terrorism." 40 people were hurt when the attacker slammed his car through a crowd of people on a bridge over the River Thames. Masood then got out of his vehicle and fatally stabbed police officer Keith Palmer. Palmer, aged 48 and a father, was a 15-year-veteran who was unarmed, on the grounds of Parliament. An armed officer shot the assailant dead. The vehicle hit many  people, including three police officers. "The man -- armed with a knife -- continued the attack, tried to enter Parliament.  London Mayor Sadiq Khan said: "My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones and to everyone who has been affected," he said, paying tribute to the emergency services. He announced the deployment of additional armed officers on the streets of the British capital. "We stand together in the face of those who would seek to harm us and destroy our way of life," he added
