Police raid sees 20th arrest made in London Bridge attack probe
Met police said that counter-terrorism officers had so far spoken to 262 people from 19 different countries as part of the investigation.
The measures were announced Thursday as the summer music season gets into full swing. The Glastonbury music and arts festival starts this month. Eight people died and almost 50 were wounded.
One of the businesses to re-open was a branch of fast-food chain Leon.
Xavier Thomas, 45, is thought to have been struck by the terrorists’ van on the bridge and witnesses reported him being thrown into the water. The conservative Daily Telegraph added: “It is astonishing that people who pose such a danger to life and limb should be able to parade their foul ideology on TV with no consequences”.
The Sun newspaper has obtained dramatic closed-circuit TV footage of the London Bridge and Borough Market attackers being shot dead by police on Saturday night.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman, speaking anonymously in line with official policy, said Saturday that Echeverria’s family shared the information with the ministry after the autopsy was performed on Friday. The 21-year-old worked as a nanny in London and had previously been described as missing since Saturday night.
“Something very sad, very hard, is becoming more handsome and grand, making us appreciate even more our brother, our family, our friends and our country”, said Ana.
Mr Haydon, head of the Metropolitan Police’s Counter-Terrorism Command, said: “We’ve been working round the clock to understand what these men did in the lead-up to the attack but we need to know more about these unusual knives”.
She said she has been “humbled and privileged” to hear of the heroic actions of members of the public and the emergency services in their response to the attack.
“When I come back to Butt trying to get hold of a 7.5 tonne lorry – the effect could have been even worse”. If you know anything about these particular types of knives, please let us know.
Officers then appear to shoot the men, one of whom runs towards an officer who continues to shoot until the suspect hits the ground.
The footage believed to be from a surveillance camera emerged on social media.
This story has been corrected to show that one attacker used an east London gym but did not work there.
Donald Hyslop, Borough Market chairman of trustees, said: “Borough Market is not just a collection of stalls, restaurants and pubs; it is a community of people”. Police said they arrested five more people in locations across the city in connection with the investigation.
The video shows a man crossing a deserted street in the market. They said they had not found evidence of anyone else being involved in the plot – or inspiring the attackers to carry it out. Eight people were killed and the three attackers were shot dead by police.
Police also said they had made an overnight raid in east London and arrested a 27-year-old man early Tuesday.
As arrests continue to mount, investigators released new details about the planning and methods of the three attackers and their van and knife rampage.
In his spare time, he tried to recruit followers to the Islamic State group – a practice that prompted a neighbor to report him to the police in 2015.
