QuoteWestminster car crash: Man arrested on suspicion of terror offences

A man has been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences after a car crashed outside the Houses of Parliament, injuring several people.

Officers were seen surrounding the vehicle before the man in his late 20s was detained, shortly after 07:30 BST.

London Ambulance Service said it had taken two patients to hospital with non life-threatening injuries after cyclists and pedestrians were hit.

No one else was in the car and no weapons have been found so far.

"At this stage, we are treating this as a terrorist incident and the Met's Counter Terrorism Command is now leading the investigation," said Scotland Yard.

The man is in custody at a south London police station and the vehicle is being searched. The government's Cobra emergency committee is meeting later.

the 'man' is not cooperating with the investigators, so the reports

Terror suspects rarely cooperate with police regardless of the color of their skin

I saw snippets of this as I was leaving for work today, but couldn't figure out why the incident was being treated as an intentional (thus terror) attack.

The injury of pedestrians by the car seems to be why, along with the attitude of the driver, i.e. not explaining it was an accident and being concerned about the welfare of people hit while on the way to the barricade, but rather being uncooperative.

Of course, a psychiatric incident could also be a terror attack of a sort -- the two concepts certainly aren't mutually exclusive. (It could even be an organized terror attack, of a sort, and also a major psychiatric problem.)

Looks like this calls for a preemptive arrest of Tommy Robinson before he says something.  :-"

1. i drew nothing !
i just forwarded the first news picture that i got available on twitter for those who interested to get a first glimpse at the suspect

2. the red circle is not around the only black face, its around the single suspect in a, i guess the photo journalist thought, confusing crowd of officers including a possible quilted jacket plainclothes officer.

i don't care about the skin colors of a (very likely IS inspired) terrorist 

You brought 'skin color' into the discussion because you just see possible racism subtext everywhere these days  ...and so the funny JSW kneejerk indignation
   
3. my draw you own conclusion phrase was clearly only in relation with suspect 'don't cooperate' so -> likely terrorist 
(while mental ill, speak when arrested about: getting ordered by demons, or bikers overrun were alien invaders, and such.... and roadrage drivers also talk)

-back to topic
A man suspected of carrying out a terrorist attack outside the Houses of Parliament has been named as 29-year-old Sudanese immigrant Salih Khater.

To be fair to MikeGER - he didn't put the red circle round the suspect. The media did that. I saw The Metro this morning in the office and it had a big red circle round the suspect.

I stand corrected.  Thank you both for the clarification

I know what that is in the red circle. It's a white guy standing outside in Buffalo, N.Y. in January with his eyes closed.  :2funny:
