UK Parliament Terror Attack : What We Know So Far

Four people were killed, including the assailant, and 40 injured after being run over and stabbed in a terror attack at the heart of Britain's seat of power attributed by police to "Islamist-related terrorism". The lightning attack unfolded on Wednesday across Westminster Bridge in the shadow of Big Ben, a towering landmark that draws tourists by the millions and stands over Britain's Houses of Parliament -- the very image of London. The attacker was shot dead by police within the perimeter of UK Parliament. Here's what we know:

THE ATTACK

The attacker used a car to run down several pedestrians on the iconic Westminster Bridge. At least one woman and one other person were killed by the vehicle and others were left with "catastrophic injuries," according to police. Three police officers were among those injured on the bridge.

The driver then rammed his car into the Parliament fence and fatally stabbed a police officer as he tried to enter the building.

During Q2 of FY 16, the capacity utilization for the plywood division of Greenply Industries Limited was recorded at 116% whereas for the medium density fireboard (MDF) it was at 109%. The growth according to him actually resulted from higher volume and higher utilizations as pricing posed quite a tough challenge, thanks to more competition and capacities. Post demonetization, the company has faced some tough challenges and had to cut down on its production rate. D. N. Sahu, Purchase Head of GIL stated that the company was forced to reduce its production by 40% as lack of cash significantly reduced purchase of luxury goods such as plywood. Also, the management expects that the demonetization move will adversely affect demands for the next two to three quarters and the company may have to deal with the issue of working capital pressure.
