London was today on lockdown as people were warned to stay away from no go zones after at least five people were killed in the London terror attack yesterday afternoon. Westminster Tube station has been closed following the attack, in which a policeman was stabbed to death and at least 40 people were injured when a car mounted the pavement on Westminster Bridge. Three more civilians were killed on the bridge, as well as the attacker, and many suffered 'catastrophic injuries', including one women who was pulled from the Thames after jumping over to avoid the car. A huge area around the palace has now been cordoned off, including the bridge, as police remain on high alert in fear of any subsequent attacks on what it the heart of Britain's political establishment. Police have warned people to expect armed guards at Tube stations and a heavy police presence on the streets, and the Army is now poised to descend upon London amid security fears. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4339530/Police-urge-public-streets-London.html cc: Lalasticlala Mynd44
