9/16/17

An 18-year-old man has been arrested in Dover in connection with attack on a London Underground train in Parsons Green.

The suspect was arrested by Kent Police in the port area under the Terrorism Act on Saturday morning.

He remains in custody at a local police station and will be transferred to London in due course.

Commuters described a “fireball” sweeping through the carriage, injuring 29 people and prompting a dangerous stampede by those trying to flee.

Like the bomb detonated by Salman Abedi at Manchester Arena, the Parsons Green device contained triacetone triperoxide (TATP) and nails.

Police arrest 2nd man in connection with London subway attack

9/17/17

LONDON --
London police say a second man has been arrested in connection with the London subway attack.

Police said Sunday that a 21-year-old man was arrested late Saturday night in Hounslow in west London and is being held under the Terrorism Act. He is being questioned at a south London police station but has not been charged or identified.

Two men are now in custody for possible roles in the bombing attack on a rush-hour subway train Friday morning that injured 29 people in London. An 18-year-old man was arrested Saturday in the departure area of the port of Dover, where ferries leave for France.

The two arrests indicate police and security services believe the attack at the Parsons Green station was part of a coordinated plot, not the act of a single person.
