More revelations are emerging about the shocking terror attack in London...

Five South Korean nationals are also known to be among the injured.
The attacker... was shot and killed by police at the scene.
Ro Aram has the latest.
At about 3 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, local time, an attacker, whom police believe was inspired by international terrorism, ploughed through dozens of pedestrians on Westminster Bridge with a car, killing three people.
He then fatally stabbed 48-year-old police officer Keith Palmer, who was guarding the parliamentary complex.
The assailant, whose identity is yet to be released, was then shot dead by police.
No terror group has yet claimed responsibility and Scotland Yard's top anti-terror officer Mark Rowley said a fast-paced investigation was underway on the assumption that the attack was Islamist-related terrorism.

"I will not comment in this stage the identity of the attacker, but our working assumption is that he was inspired by international terrorism....our investigation continues and is moving at a very fast pace this evening.... We have hundreds of officers on this investigation and they're focusing on the suspects motivation preparation and his associates."
Speaking outside 10 Downing Street after chairing a meeting of the government's COBRA emergencies committee, Prime Minister Theresa May condemned the attack.

""The location of this attack was no accident the terrorist chose to strike at the heart of our capital city where people of all nationalities, religions and cultures come together to celebrate the values of liberty democracy and freedom of speech.....But let me make it clear today as I have had calls to do before, any attempt to defeat those values through violence and terror is doomed for failure."
Meanwhile, Seoul's foreign ministry confirmed that five Korean tourists were also hurt.
It said three women and one man suffered injuries including broken bones, and another woman in her 60s is being treated for a head wound.
