I'm far from pc believe me, but one should never assume, only deal with facts.

One woman has died.
Reports from St Thomas' Hospital confirm one woman has died and others have 'catastrophic' injuries.

From the BBC website, it seems to be the same person causing both incidents.
The attacker is reported to have mowed down several pedestrians as he drove a grey Hyundai car across Westminster Bridge before crashing it into railings
He is then reported to have run through the gates of the Palace of Westminster and stabbed the officer
Eyewitnesses said he was shot by police as he approached a second officer clutching his knife

Surely time for another ban. Oh right, he's a mod.
Sky News have deployed Kay Burley... switching to BBC.

Not necessarily......the last incident like this wasn't Islamic terrorism was it! Jo Cox.
Just seen an eyewitness report on ITV and the middle-aged lady is reporting that there were gunshots on the bridge and that the bodies on Westminster Bridge had been shot.
Sounds confusing as the reports so far are that the vehicle ploughed into pedestrians on the bridge and the driver then went on to attack a policeman and that was when the shots were fired.

I mean nobody has a clue right now though, usually you get eye witnesses coming out and saying who the people were or looked like but it's all been total silence. Suspect the media will suppress it as much as possible, especially if its religious or political motivations.

That's hardly helpful.
I'd say it's often the opposite. Numerous times recently has it been reported that someone heard someone shout "Allahu Akhbar" at the scene, only for that to be retracted later.
Ref: see Spanish supermarket shooting, and Quebec Mosque attack.
I expect that's extremely unlikely. As with every other major terror attack, as and when real evidence emerges of who's responsible and what organisation (if any) they belong to, it's likely to be all over the media. The only reason people on NSC know about previous attacks in different parts of the world and that Islamic terrorists have been responsible for them, is as a result of media reporting, surely? In due course, when the police/security authorities release what they know, we will hear about it, as we always have, through the responsible media, including the BBC and the other usual sources. There are good reasons why we don't know yet, not least that the situation is still unfolding, and the priority is to contain it and reduce further risk.

Why would the media suppress information? That's the exact opposite of what the media is there to do.

Still no one has said anything to back this up. Appalling comment when you have no evidence, and people are dead or seriously injured. As Notters said, a thread ban would be in order.
