Two more arrests in Wales over terror attack

LONDON: Two men were arrested on Wednesday over last week's London Underground terror attack in which 30 people were injured, bringing the total number of people in custody to five, police said, reports AFP.

The men, aged 48 and 30, were arrested under anti-terrorism legislation in Newport in Wales, police said in a statement, after a 25-year-old man was arrested in the same city on Tuesday.

"This continues to be a fast-moving investigation," Dean Haydon, head of counter-terrorism at London's Metropolitan Police, said in the statement.

"We now have five men in custody and searches are continuing at four addresses," he said. "We anticipate that the searches will take some days to complete and may cause further disruption".

Friday's attack on a train at Parsons Green station in west London was claimed by the Islamic State group.

A bomb hidden in a large white bucket apparently failed to detonate fully when it went off during morning rush hour but instead released what witnesses described as a "fireball" into the air.
