Seven arrested in raids after Westminster attack

Seven people have been arrested in raids in London, Birmingham and elsewhere linked to yesterday's Westminster terror attack.


Mark Rowley, the Metropolitan Police's senior anti-terror officer, said six addresses were raided overnight.

Mr Rowley said the death toll from the attack was four, not five.

The dead were: the attacker, police constable Keith Palmer, who he stabbed, Aysha Frade, "a highly regarded and loved" member of staff at DLD College London and a man in his mid 50s, who were mown down as the terrorist sped across Westminster Bridge in his car.

Mr Rowley said 29 people had been treated in hospital with seven people in a critical condition.

Mr Rowley said it was still his belief the attacker worked alone and was inspired by "international terrorism", adding that there was no specific information to suggest any further threat to the public.
