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 mowed1 down pedestrians2 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 investigation3 found president Donald Trump4'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 congressman5 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 ongoing6 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 renovation7 of the shrine8, that tradition says houses the cave where Jesus was entombed and resurrected. 

Norreen Nasir,  the Associated Press with AP News Minute.
