18-Yr-Old Arrested Over London Tube Bombing

An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of terror offences in connection with Friday’s attack on a London Tube.

 
The man was detained in the port area of Dover on Saturday by Kent Police and is being held at a local station.

Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said the arrest was “significant”, but the terror threat level remains at “critical”.

Thirty people were injured after the explosion on a train at Parsons Green.

Mr Basu said the force was not changing its “protective security measures”, adding that steps were still being taken to free up extra armed officers.

 
He added: “This arrest will lead to more activity from our officers. “For strong investigative reasons we will not give any more details on the man we arrested at this stage.”
