TWO more people have been arrested over Wedn terror attack in London, police said yesterday.

“We have made two further significant arrests overnight,” counter-terrorism commander Mark Rowley said, confirming that there were nine people in total in custody over the attack.

One woman arrested earlier was released on bail.

Rowley said police carried out more than dozen searches, seizing 2 700 items including “massive amounts of computer data”.
