London: The London police have arrested a second man in suspicious of attack that injured 30 in packed London Subway station last Saturday.
Metropolitan Police in its statement said that 21-year-old was arrested in Hounslow in West London just before midnight Saturday,
On Saturday, the Met announced it had detained an 18-year-old near the Port of Dover, a key ferry terminal between Britain and France, calling it a “significant” arrest.
“At this stage we’re keeping an open mind around whether more than one person is responsible for the attack,” Neil Basu, the senior national coordinator for counterterrorism policing, told media.
After the detonation on a packed subway car at Parsons Green Tube station in southwest London, Prime Minister Theresa May announced that the nation’s threat level for international terrorism had been increased to critical, its highest level, meaning another terror attack may be imminent.
Hundreds of soldiers have been deployed at strategic sites around the city to free up police to hunt those behind the incident, the latest in a series of attacks in the country’s capital.
ISIS made its customary claim of responsibility for the attack, without providing any supporting evidence.
