The world is in shock as terror hit in the heart of London on Wednesday. According to latest reports, five people were killed and about 40 injured in the terror attack after a car ploughed into pedestrians and a suspected Islamist-inspired attacker stabbed a policeman close to Britain's parliament.

"India strongly condemns Westminster terrorist incident and condoles the loss of life. No place in democracies and civilised societies for terrorism," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay tweeted.
