POLICE IN LONDON have made a sixth arrest in the ongoing investigation surrounding last Friday’s bomb attack on a train in the west of the city.
A 17-year-old teenager was arrested in the early hours of this morning at Thornton Heath in south London.
The male is the second teenager to be arrested in the fast-moving investigation.
To date, five other men, ranging in age from 18 to 48, have also been arrested in London, Dover, and south Wales.
“We now have six males in custody and searches are continuing at five addresses. Detectives are carrying out extensive inquiries to determine the full facts behind the attack,” said Dean Haydon, commander of the Metropolitan Police’s counter terrorism command.
We anticipate that the searches will take some days to complete and may cause further disruption. However, it is important that we continue with these searches and I’d like to thank all those affected for their support, patience and cooperation.
29 people were injured in the attack last Friday when an improvised explosive device in a large white bucket apparently failed to detonate fully when it went off during morning rush hour at Parsons Green station.
Some commuters suffered burns, while others were injured in the stampede to the exit that ensued.
The bombing was the fifth terror attack in Britain in six months, which combined have claimed 35 lives.

Are they really benefitting from WhatsApp’s outage, or is it more that people are ditching WhatsApp since the Facebook takeover?
I deleted my account, and the app from my phone. Barely use it as it is. Find Viber better.
Yeah, I only use viber. Didn’t bother even trying any other messaging app. How many different ways do I need to talk to the same people?
Had both WhatsApp and Viber for a couple of years. When Viber added text messaging (was originally just voice) stopped using WhatsApp altogether.
The stock valuations of these tech companies make no sence ! Twitter never has made a profit and is worth billions !
Never heard of LINE don’t know why they’re bragging. Left whatsapp for viber a long time ago. Joining with Facebook will mean constant technical problems problems
Currently working in S.E. Asia here, Whatsapp is almost nonexistent – Line has pretty much obtained market saturation. It’s a big world out there buddy, and Ireland is a very small pixel in the picture.
Just sayin’
;)
Understand that… Just stating I’ve never heard of them….. Buddy….
Well you said you don’t know why they’re bragging… Well, 340+ million users and 0 network problems, (ever, in my experience). Facebook buys Whatsapp and an outage occurs within hours.
That’s the reason they were braggin’
:)
Yep. Any Korean or Japanese person I’ve met here in Asia seem to never even have heard of Viber or Whatsapp. LINE is massive. I prefer it to Viber which I use for my Irish friends. I’d recommend to give it a try.
Ah jasus there’s messaging app fanboi’s now…
No point in staying with a service when there is a better one out there for free.
Viber is so laggy I can’t deal with it. Whatsapp is miles better but now I wonder about privacy now that fb have taken over. No doubt in a few weeks we’ll notice ‘pages you might like suggestions’ will be relevant to private conversations had with mates on what’s app.
I’m no expert but I would expect people to bounce around from one free app to the next. It takes seconds and groups can reform in no time. Facebook will try to cull or own any threat to its platform, which I have to say, for me is becoming less interesting every day.
My daughter in Japan told us about Line over two years ago and we use it all the time, it is a superb messaging and call service, very clear with no delay between Ireland and Japan.
LOVE IS LIFE
