BRITISH police arrested eight people at six locations in London and Birmingham in the investigation into Wednesday's lone-wolf attack that British Prime Minister Theresa May said was inspired by a warped Islamist ideology. Forty people were injured and 29 remain in hospital, seven in critical condition.
The attacker who killed three people near the British parliament before being shot dead was British-born and was once investigated by MI5 intelligence agents over concerns about violent extremism, Mrs May said on Thursday.
