Page 4 - Isis Attack News Today

Right beside britains ministry of defense building, and this happened obviously all around parliament. weve got unconfirmed reports so far that one woman is dead. thats from the reuters news agency, quoting doctors, but no official confirmation of that, and up to a dozen people injured, and as weve been saying for the last while, this does appear to be some kind of double incident, one involving a car, the second involving a man with a knife. but you know its a very long time since there has bee...

There were more eyewitnesses who weve interviewed. lets listen to them. >> i heard the crash first, and then i thought it was a genuine accident having gone right across the cycle lane and shortly thereafter i saw somebody laying down beside which again, i assumed that it was a cyclist theyd gone into and i thought oh my goodness. >> were fortunate to have nbcs keir simmons, normally in london but on duty here in the states right now in new york. keir, youve been talking to your sources. what ha...

They had calls, talking about a man with a knife, a car hitting pedestrians, and a person in the river. they will be trying to figure out whether those calls were valid, and then whether any of those people, particularly the man in the vehicle, and the person with a knife, were the same people, or if this is if you like a multiple attack. again, that will be crucial and just one other thing that i picked up from that briefing, andrea, it may be coincidental but is still quite striking, they say ...

Sites, around new york city, the consular site, presumably the u.n. mission so extra protection for potential british targets here as well, even absent any hard intelligence. we also note that boris johnson was not at the class photo. i know he went to the state department today after a meeting in the white house this morning, and then presumably when this happened, probly wt into an office or back to the embassy to at least consult with home base. theresa may, just to reconfirm, is at number te...

That this may be simultaneous attacks, that it may be well coordinated, the initial suspicion would certainly be toward isis especially after the intelligence that led to the banning of laptops between the brits and the u.s. on flights coming in from certain countries. would that be a safe assumption? >> well you know, i think certainly the operating assumption would be either isis or al qaeda. i think its very early to tell and probably the paramount priority now for the british is to figure ou...

Civilians and rescue crews and police and even troops gather, and thats when the secondary attack happens, and certainly it is hugely significant, where this took place. as i said, this is the very center of british power, within a few hundred yards of where this happened, not only have you got the houses of parliament, the house of commons, the house of lords, youve got downing street, we are reasonably close to where the anti-terror committee, c.o.b.r.a., meets on a weekly and sometimes daily ...

Both of those organizations, in publications, they have talked about using a vehicle to attack. weve seen it happen in france. weve seen it happen in germany. what im told, though, at this point, is they are not certain whether it was more than one person. i think that that helps to explain the kind of accounts that weve had. in terms of what were seeing, what weve seen, people have talked about a vehicle crashing into the barrier by their houses of parliament. you can see from the pictures ther...

London. duncan, you heard scotland yards briefing, the barest essentials, they dont know the incident not yet saying is over. >> thats correct. they are playing their cards close to their chest. i was in the briefing with b.j. harrington who just took that press conference only last week, in which they were preparing an exercise on the thames, in case isis or some other terror group were to launch an attack coming down the river, and now weve seen an attack coming over the river, crossing on a b...

With the vehicle, and then has according to reports attacked a police officer with a knife. we dont know at this stage whether it is one or more than one person, and that will be absolutely crucial, andrea. >> absolutely. keir, if youll stand by for a moment, jeremy bash rejoining us, our nbc news national security analyst. jeremy, if you were at the cia at the right hand of leon panetta as you were as his chief of staff, what would you be doing here if our allies in the uk had just suffered som...

Man burst through the open gates, and attack a police offic officer. from where i was, from what i could see it looked like he was stabbing him repeatedly. he then somehow got up and began running forward towards, further into the parliamentary estate towards the entrance to westminster hall, where there are lots of police officers with, armed police officers. they then shouted some kind of warning at him, and then opened fire, shooting at least twice, possibly three times. i cant quite remember...
