U.K. POLICE CHARGE SUSPECT IN KILLING OF LAWMAKER

Ali Harbi Ali, 25, was accused of murder and preparation of terrorist acts in the killing of David Amess, a lawmaker who was stabbed in a town east of London last week.

It was alleged that Mr. Ali had plotted to kill a member of Parliament for two years and was suspected of being affiliated with the Islamic State.

The attack has rattled the British political establishment and intensified concerns over the security precautions for members of Parliament.
