4 people were killed and 20 others injured at the British Parliament in London Wednesday. A knife-wielding man mowed 1 down pedestrians 2 in an SUV on Westminster Bridge before stabbing an armed police officer to death inside the gates of the parliament building. Police said they are treating the attacks as a terrorist incident.
An Associated Press investigation 3 found President Donald Trump 4's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to advance the interest of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Manafort confirmed his employment but said the work was being unfairly cast as inappropriate.
California GOP Congressman 5 Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said President Trump's communications may have been monitored during the transition period as part of a "incidental collection". He said the communications do not appear to be correlated to the ongoing 6 FBI investigation into Trump associates' contacts with Russia.
In Jerusalem, and just in time for Easter, the tomb of Jesus has been resurrected to its former glory. A Greek reservation team completed a historic renovation 7 of the shrine 8 that tradition says houses the cave where Jesus was entombed and resurrected.
