This is AP news minute. 


1. Four people were killed and 20 others injured at the British parliament in London on Wednesday. A knife-wielding man mowed 1 down pedestrians 2 in a 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. 


2. 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 interests of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Manafort confirmed his employment but said the work was being unfairly cast as inappropriate. 


3. Powerful 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 a part of "Incidental collection". He said the communications don't appear to be related to the ongoing 6 FBI investigation into Trump associate's contacts with Russia. 


4. In Jerusalem and just-in-time for easter, the tomb of Jesus has been resurrected to its former glory. A Greek  restoration team completed the historic renovation 7 of the shrine 8, that tradition says houses the cave where Jesus was entombed and resurrected.
