Khalid Masood 沿著西敏橋的人行道開著租來的休旅車，抵達中倫敦的英國國會大廈附近。 Masood 走出車外，以兩把刀作為武器，試圖闖入國會大廈；在被槍殺身亡前，他刺死了一名試圖阻止他的警察。此攻擊事件導致至少 40位民眾受傷，三位民眾當場死亡，另有兩人在幾天後過世。雖然 ISIS 宣稱其為此次攻擊的幕後主使者，然而警方調查後並未發現有任何證據顯示 Masood 和 ISIS 或蓋達組織有關聯。

On 22 March, Khalid Masood drove a rented SUV along the sidewalk of Westminster Bridge, near the British Houses of Parliament in central London. Three people were killed instantly, and two more died in the days after the attack; at least 40 were injured. Armed with two knives, Masood left the car and attempted to enter the grounds of parliament, where he fatally stabbed a policeman who tried to stop him, before being shot and killed. Although ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, police investigating found no evidence of any links between Masood and either ISIS or al-Qaeda.
