As many as four people were dead and 40 others injured after a terrorist attacked Westminster, stabbing a police officer to death as he tried to storm the Parliament, and killing three members of the public as he careered through the heart of the capital in a 4x4 vehicle, according to the Guardian.

The man believed to have been responsible for the terrorist attack in Westminster has been identified as 52-year-old Khalid Masood.
