Live Mint  

London: British police said they had made two further significant arrests in the investigation into the attack in the Westminster area near UK’s Parliament and gave the birth name of the man behind the assault as Adrian Russell Ajao. Britain’s top anti-terrorism officer, Mark Rowley, said police had nine people in custody after the attack on Wednesday which killed five people including the assailant. Police had said the man behind the attack was British-born Muslim covert Khalid Masood, who used several aliases, and that they were trying to establish if others had directed him. Rowley said police had made two further “significant” arrests overnight, one in the West Midlands and one in the north west of the country.
