Right beside britain's ministry of defense building, and this happened obviously all around parliament. we've got unconfirmed reports so far that one woman is dead. that's from the reuters news agency, quoting doctors, but no official confirmation of that, and up to a dozen people injured, and as we've 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 it's a very long time since there has been an incident around the palace of westminster itself. there was a famous bomb attack here in t...

There were more eyewitnesses who we've interviewed. let's 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 they'd gone into and i thought oh my goodness. >> we're fortunate to have nbc's keir simmons, normally in london but on duty here in the states right now in new york. keir, you've been talking to your sources. what have you been able to glean? >> reporter: that's right. i've been speaking to british security o...
