London: Hours after an "Islamist-related terrorism” incident stunned the United Kingdom on Wednesday, a suspicious package was found at London Underground station.

The tube station next to London`s O2 Arena was evacuated.

Bus and underground links to the North Greenwich station were suspended as authorities probed the package, said Report UK.

The station was reopened after officials confirmed the package was not suspicious.

Four people were killed and 40 injured after being run over and stabbed in a lightning attack at the gates of British democracy on Wednesday.

The attack unfolded across Westminster Bridge in the shadow of Big Ben, a towering landmark that draws tourists by the millions and stands over Britain`s Houses of Parliament -- the very image of London.

The attacker`s car struck pedestrians on the bridge before crashing into the railings surrounding the heavily guarded Houses of Parliament, sowing first shock then panic in the seat of British power.

The assailant then ran through the gates brandishing a knife and stabbed a 48-year-old policeman to death before being shot dead by another officer.

The attack came a year to the day after Islamic State jihadists killed 32 people in twin bomb attacks in Brussels and after a series of deadly assaults in Europe that had hitherto spared Britain.
