The wife of the man who killed four people outside Britain's Parliament last week has condemned the attack, saying she is "saddened and shocked."
In statement released through London police, Khalid Masood's wife, Rohey Hydara, also said "I express my condolences to the families of the victims that have died, and wish a speedy recovery to all the injured."
She added: "I would like to request privacy for our family, especially the children, at this difficult time."
Rohey Hydara spoke out after Masood's mother, Janet Ajao, said she had "shed many tears" for her son's victims.
"I am so deeply shocked, saddened and numbed by the actions my son has taken that have killed and injured innocent people in Westminster," Mrs Ajao said.
"Since discovering that it was my son that was responsible I have shed many tears for the people caught up in this horrendous incident.
"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."
Police believe Masood - a 52-year-old Briton with convictions for violence who had spent several years in Saudi Arabia - acted alone in Wednesday's knife and car attack. But they are trying to determine whether others helped inspire or direct his actions.
Masood was killed by police after fatally stabbing an officer.
