A seventh person has been arrested in connection with the Parsons Green Tube bomb attack on 15 September.

The 20-year-old man was arrested in Cardiff at 06:00 BST under section 41 of the Terrorism Act and is now being held at a south London police station.

Last week Ahmed Hassan, 18, of Sunbury, Surrey, was remanded in custody charged with attempted murder.

A bomb partially exploded on a train at the Tube station in south-west London during rush hour, injuring 30 people.

Three other men arrested over the attack have been released without charge; two further men, aged 25 and 30, remain in custody.

Police Under Strain In An Effort To Fight UK Terror Threats

The UK’s counter-terrorism effort is putting an unsustainable strain on policing, the head of the National Police Chiefs’ Council has said.

Chief Constable Sara Thornton said resources were being diverted from mainstream policing in England and Wales, leading to backlogs in control rooms and slower response times. She said the strain was “causing real problems” and “frankly unsustainable”.

The Home Office said it was working with police on the demands they faced.

So far in 2017 there have been five terror attacks in the UK, killing 36 people.

Four people remain in police custody, including a 17-year-old boy, following last week’s explosion at Parsons Green Tube station in which 30 people were injured.

18 Year Old Charged With Parsons Green Terror Attack

An 18-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder in connection with the Parsons Green terror attack.

Ahmed Hassan, of Sunbury, Surrey, will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court this afternoon, when he will also face a second charge under the Explosive Substances Act.

Three other men, aged 25, 30 and 17, remain in custody.

Thirty people were injured last Friday when a bomb partially exploded on a District line Underground train.
Many of those suffered flash burn injuries, while others were hurt in a crush when people ran down a staircase at the station.

Two other men who had been arrested in connection with the explosion have been released without charge. Police are continuing to search one property in Surrey and two in Newport, south Wales.

War Of Words Continue Between President Trump & Kim Jong-un

Kim Jong-un has said remarks by “deranged” US President Donald Trump have convinced him he is right to develop weapons for North Korea.

In an unprecedented personal statement, Mr Kim said Mr Trump would “pay dearly” for a UN speech where he threatened to “totally destroy” the North if the US was forced to defend itself.

Mr Trump responded that the “madman… will be tested like never before”. The two countries have engaged in ever more heated rhetoric in recent months.

China responded to the war of words, warning that the situation was “complicated and sensitive”. “All relevant parties should exercise restraint instead of provoking each other,” said Foreign Minister spokesman Lu Kang.

Russia also urged restraint. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was “deeply concerned by an escalation of tensions”.
