英國倫敦國會大樓外發生襲擊,造成 5 死 最少 40 人傷;警方將事件定性為恐怖襲擊。

事發在當地時間星期三下午約兩時半,初步相信疑兇單獨駕駛一輛汽車,在西敏橋衝上行人路,撞傷多人,包括三名警員。

疑犯其後將汽車撞向國會大樓外的圍欄,下車後持刀企圖闖入國會大樓,刺傷一名警員,一名國會議員為警員急救,但警員傷重死亡。

疑犯再衝向另一名警員時,被其他警員連開多槍擊斃。

傳媒引述目擊者表示,疑兇是一名約40歲男子,當時手持一把八寸長的刀。

首相文翠珊發表聲明,哀悼襲擊中的死者,並慰問家屬及傷者;她表示,這不是一場意外,恐怖分子選擇襲擊「英國首都的心臟」,但強調英國不會因此而分化。

德國總理默克爾及法國總統奧朗德分別表示,堅定站在英國的一方對抗恐怖主義,美國政府亦譴責襲擊。

事件發生這一天,剛是比利時布魯塞爾發生連環炸彈襲擊一周年;當時造成35人死、340人傷。
