UK terror suspect being investigated for attempted murder
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLONDON — A British man accused of terrorism after driving into a barrier protecting the Houses of Parliament faces an investigation for attempted murder, police say Wednesday.
Three people were injured when the 29-year-old, named by media as Salih Khater, drove over a pavement and into cyclists before crashing into the barrier on Tuesday morning.
Police say the man, a British national originally from Sudan, was initially arrested on suspicion of terrorism offenses but revealed he had been “further arrested for attempted murder.”
Two of the injured victims — a man and a woman — were taken to hospital but have now been discharged. The third was treated at the scene.
