“I totally condemn his actions.
“I express my condolences to the families of the victims that have died, and wish a speedy recovery to all the injured.

Janet Ajao, 69, is being protected by police for fear of reprisals at her country home after it was was searched by anti-terror officers.
The mother-of-three said: “I am so deeply shocked, saddened and numbed by the actions my son has taken that have killed and injured innocent people in Westminster.
“Since discovering that it was my son that was responsible I have shed many tears for the people caught up in this horrendous incident.”
Three people were killed and dozens injured when Masood drove a car at speed along Westminster Bridge last Wednesday, before leaving the vehicle armed with a knife and stabbing PC Keith Palmer to death.
His mum said: “I wish to make it absolutely clear, so there can be no doubt, I do not condone his actions nor support the beliefs he held that led to him committing this atrocity.
“I wish to thank my friends, family and community from the bottom of my heart for the love and support given to us.”
