every inch
イギリスで発生したテロ事件について，英国諜報機関のMI5や警察は犯人を数年前調査していたことが明らかになりました。容疑者はイギリス生まれですが，背後には今回のテロ行為に関して声明を出したISが潜んでいる可能性があります。
記事の中で気になった表現は，"every inch"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版』(三省堂)には「 隅から隅まで, 全域, 全体」などという意味がありました。この攻撃に巻き込まれ，これまで4名が死亡し，40名が重軽傷を負っております。(Ume)
London attack: British-born attacker 'known to MI5'
Mrs May paid tribute to PC Palmer saying: "He was every inch a hero and his actions will never be forgotten."
She also said one of three police officers injured as they returned from an event to recognise their bravery was in a stable condition.
She told MPs, many of whom had been caught up in the commotion: "We will never waver in the face of terrorism."
The so-called Islamic State claimed through its news agency that the Westminster attacker was a "soldier of the Islamic State".
Westminster Bridge has now re-opened.
