The terrorist attack in London on March 22 was carried out by an Islamic jihadist who used a rented vehicle in an attack that killed five people and injured dozens more.
The use of vehicles to kill and injure in pursuit of jihad, or holy war, highlights a growing trend of ramming attacks—a tactic advocated by the Islamic State terror group and al Qaeda.
The terrorist, who was killed by police outside Parliament after he stabbed a guard to death, was identified as Khalid Masood.
Authorities said Monday Masood was not linked to the Islamic State. However, ISIS acknowledged the attacker as one of its Muslim "soldiers."
