12 arrested in connection with London terror attack

India TV News  

Twelve people have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in a terror attack in London which claimed seven lives before police shot dead three suspects, authorities said on Sunday. The Saturday horror took place when a white transit-style van speeding toward the London Bridge Tube station drove into a crowd of unsuspecting people including tourists enjoying the pleasant weather around 10 pm, sending one man flying some 20 feet in the air. Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Theresa May announced that the June 8 general election will go ahead as planned despite another terrorist attack in London as she blamed the ‘evil ideology of Islamist extremism’ for the three terror attacks in the country. She said "it is time to say enough is enough" as she condemned the terror attack on "innocent and unarmed civilians" on London Bridge and Borough Market area of the city, which left seven people dead and 48 injured in London.
