In what authorities are treating as a terrorist attack, several people were injured in Central London on Tuesday after a car knocked down cyclists and pedestrians before crashing into security barriers outside the Houses of Parliament.
The incident occurred shortly after 7:30 a.m. (British time) during the morning rush hour. The driver of the silver Ford Fiesta was immediately arrested at the scene by police and held on “suspicion of terrorist offenses.” The man, who has not been named, has been described as in his late 20s.
Police said there was nobody else inside the vehicle and that no weapons have currently been discovered. The area around Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, also known as the Palace of Westminster – a popular tourist site – was cordoned off for hours.

Paris – Following a heist of historic proportions at the Carlton Hotel, Cannes security may be on high alert. But organizers of Mipcom, the next big high-profile entertainment industry event that will see TV executives from around the world descending upon the Croisette for dealmaking Oct. 7-10, say they aren't planning any major changes. “Let’s be clear that this is a large-scale theft of diamonds, which is not what happens with our delegates -- it’s a big difference,” said Peter Rhodes, managing director of conference planner Reed Midem.

In the state where it takes place, "The Last Mountain" occupies the loneliest corner, the "last "referring to the Coal River Mountain, the only peak that hasn't been reduced to rubble for the sake of coal production in West Virginia. And the film itself, the latest from "The Price of Sugar" director Bill Haney, is equally isolating, a well-built argument against the destruction of the Appalachian mountains to feed our nation's energy needs that ditches any sense of objectivity early on and directs its message firmly at those who already lean towards banning corporations from drilling to prevent the destruction of the region and worse, the debilitating effects on the health of its citizenry as both the water and air become contaminated with coal dust.
Even amidst the debris, Haney clearly lays out the gradual demolition of mountain tops and the erosion of laws that were intended to protect them from the 1970s forward.

Directed by: Bill Haney
Written by: Bill Haney and Peter Rhodes
Featuring: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Bo Webb, Maria Gunnoe, Michael Shnayerson, Joe Lovett, Bill Raney, Dr. Allen Hershkowitz, Jennifer Hall-Massey, Ed Wiley, Chuck Nelson and Don Blankenship
Director Bill Haney’s trenchant, impassioned documentary “The Last Mountain” chronicles a David and Goliath-like confrontation in Appalachia’s Coal River Valley precipitated by the 2000 election of President Bush. Since then, Coal River Valley has been ground zero in the battle between ordinary West Virginia citizens and the rapacious ploys of Massey Energy, the nation’s third-largest coal-mining corporation.
The documentary examines how, after the Bush administration altered the wording in the Clean Water Act, Massey Energy proceeded with a campaign to dynamite and raze the ecologically fragile Appalachian ranges for the extraction of coal. Over the ensuing decade, the company racked up 60,000 health and environmental violations.
