June 4, 2017

London police arrested 12 people after yesterday’s London terror attack, which left seven people dead and 48 injured. Three suspects in a van had plowed through pedestrians on London Bridge. The attackers, wearing fake bomb vests, jumped from the van and stabbed people on the street and in bars in the Borough Market area.

According to the Transport for London, which operates the city trains, the London Bridge Underground station remained closed on Sunday, with service being offered by bus. Waterloo and City lines train service plans to resume Monday morning. There are partial closures for the London Overground, Hammersmith and other areas.

According to the BBC:

The arrests in Barking, east London, followed a raid at a flat belonging to one of the three attackers.

A white van hit pedestrians on London Bridge at about 22:00 BST on Saturday, then three men got out and stabbed people in nearby Borough Market. They were shot dead by police minutes later.

Condemning the attack, Theresa May said it was “time to say enough is enough”.

Controlled explosions were also carried out at the flat in Barking on Sunday morning.

According to neighbours, the dead attacker had lived there for about three years and was married with two children.

It is the third terror attack in the UK in three months, following the car and knife attack in Westminster in March, which left five people dead, and the Manchester bombing less than two weeks ago, in which 22 people were killed.

CBS News is reporting: A resort in Manila was placed on lockdown early Friday following reports of gunfire.

“Resorts World Manila is currently on lockdown following reports of gunfire from unidentified men,” the resort posted to its Twitter feed.

The U.S. State Department urged people to avoid the area.
