London attack: police confirm seven people arrested
[Guardian] Here is the full interview from defence secretary Michael Fallon this morning.
Fallon says the belief is that the man was motivated by international terrorism
Their working assumption this is linked to Islamic terrorism but they don’t yet know and the investigation - and it is a very large investigation - has been underway since it happened.
Fallon said attacks are not part of normal life but London was clearly a target police were preparing for
The current warning is at severe - that an attack - and that has been the case for sometime, is likely but not imminent. There is no specific information about other attacks and let me emphasise today although there is intense security around palace of Westminster, London is going to work this morning, I passed school children going to school, there are school trips going ahead, parliament itself will resume at the normal time at half past nine. This is the Guardian's very thorough liveblog of today's events. |
- Seven arrested in six counter-terrorism raids in London, Birmingham and elsewhere following Wednesday’s terrorist attack on London
- Four dead including the killer and a plainclothes policeman, 29 treated in hospitals
