The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement issued by its Amaq news agency. But it gave no name or other details and it was not clear whether the attacker was directly connected to the group.
The assailant sped across Westminster Bridge in a car, plowing into pedestrians along the way, then ran through the gates of the nearby Parliament and fatally stabbed an unarmed police officer before being shot dead.
