20, 2017
LONDON — Three people have been arrested in a 24-hour period in Wales in connection with the terrorist attack at a London Tube station
that briefly sowed panic on the city’s transport system last week, the police said on Wednesday, bringing the number of people in custody to five.
Scotland Yard said two men, ages 48 and 30, were arrested on Wednesday under counterterrorism laws in Newport, a university
city in southeast Wales not far from Cardiff, as part of the investigation into the attack that injured at least 30 people.
Detectives are carrying out extensive inquiries to determine the full facts behind the attack." The bombing prompted the British authorities to briefly raise the terrorism threat to the highest possible level,
and Commander Haydon asked the public to come forward with any information they might have and to be vigilant for anything that could suggest a terrorist threat.
The arrests came a day after the police said they had detained a 25-year-old man in Wales
over the attack, the fifth major assault in Britain this year and the fourth in London.
The 21-year-old, who was arrested outside Aladdin’s, the shop in the outer London
borough of Hounslow where he worked, has been identified as Yahyah Farroukh.
