UK police make another arrest in parliament attack probe

The British police have made yet another arrest as part of their investigation into the recent terror attack near the Parliament in London.

The Metropolitan Police said on Sunday a 30-year-old man was apprehended in the central English city of Birmingham “on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts.”

The police said the man is in custody under the Terrorism Act (TACT).

In a statement, the police said they arrested a total of 12 people in connection with the attack but nine were released with no further action.

At least four people were killed and 50 others were injured in the attack on Wednesday after the assailant plowed a car into pedestrians and stabbed a police officer near the British Parliament in London, an incident that has been declared a terrorist incident. The attacker was also shot dead by the police. 

Earlier, Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the intelligence services must have access to encrypted social messaging services.
