 British police have arrested three women on suspicion of harbouring offenders in a raid linked to last week's failed attempt to bomb London's transport system. The women were held after an armed raid on a public housing estate in the Stockwell area of south London, close to the underground train station where a Brazilian man was mistakenly shot dead by police as a suspected suicide bomber last week. "The arrests are in connection with the ongoing investigation into the attacks on July 21," a London police spokeswoman said. She declined to give further details.
Witnesses told Reuters police armed with automatic weapons and shotguns handcuffed the women before taking them away. |
