London, Sept 16: In a major breakthrough for the investigators, the Kent Police on Saturday arrested an 18-year-old man from the port area of Dover, in connection with the terror attack in London’s tube train. He was detained under section 41 of the Terrorism Act.
Neil Basu, the senior national coordinator for counter-terrorism policing, said the arrest made is a “significant development” in the case. He, however, added that the investigation is far from over. The threat level in UK, for the time-being, will remain at ‘critical’, the top security official told reporters.
The arrested 18-year-old would be transferred to a south London police station.
The progress in the terror investigation comes a day after UK Prime Minister Theresa May ordered troops in the nation to increase patrol in the civilian areas, as the country remains gripped under the fear of “Islamist violence”.
