Delay without delay

The British police conducted two more "important" detention in connection with the terrorist attack in the center of London. This was told at a briefing by the head of the anti-terrorist unit of Scotland-Yard Mark Rowley, BBC reports .

To date, ten people have been arrested. Nine people are interrogated, one detainee was released on bail. The police conducted searches for more than 20 addresses. 2700 material evidence was seized, including electronic devices with a "huge amount of data".

Rowley reported new data on the 52-year-old terrorist Khalida Masoud. At birth, he received a different name - Edrien Russell Adjao, but changed it from religious beliefs after the adoption of Islam. The police finds out whether Masud acted alone, "inspired by terrorist propaganda," or are there people who "encouraged, supported or directed him."

Dominic Gryve, Chairman of the Parliament on Intelligence and Security, said that there was currently no evidence that Masuda "could be stopped before he arrived in a car for a bridge." According to the mane, over the past year and a half, the special services managed to prevent at least 12 terrorist attacks.

Meanwhile, the number of victims of the attack increased to four. On Friday night, a 75-year-old resident of London Leslie Rhodes died in the hospital, who received injuries on the Westminster bridge. More than 30 people remain in hospitals. The condition of two wounded is assessed as critical.

The day before, the British police said that in the past, Masuda was held accountable for causing serious bodily harm, illegal storage of weapons and violation of public order. For the first time, he was convicted in 1983 for damage to property, and in the last - in 2003 for illegal possession of cold weapons. However, the charges related to terrorist activities were never presented to him, the police representative said.

The responsibility for this terrorist attack was taken by the Islamic State group banned in Britain, Russia and many other countries.

The attack in London occurred on Wednesday during the day . Masud, moving by car, crashed into a crowd of people on the Westminster Bridge, located near the parliament building. There were killed a 43-year-old Spanish teacher Aisha Freud and a 54-year-old tourist from the United States Kurt Kokran. Then Masud attacked a 48-year-old policeman Keith Palmer, who was on duty at the territory adjacent to the parliament. Masuda himself was shot by the police. The terrorist intended to get inside the building.

“We will never yield to terror,” said Prime Minister Teresa May in his speech dedicated to the London attack. The place for the attack was not chosen by chance, May noted, since the British parliament symbolizes the values ​​of free people: democracy, freedom, human rights, and the rule of law. “Any attempts to crush these values ​​by violence and terror are doomed to failure,” the prime minister emphasized.

As noted, the attack was committed on the anniversary of the explosions in 2016 in the 2016 series in Brussels , the victims of which were 32 people.
