Terror urgency drops in Britain

BRITISH POLICE made progress Sunday in their pursuit of suspects and evidence connected to the bomb that partially exploded on a packed London subway, leading counterterrorism officials to lower the country’s threat level because they no longer considered a fresh attack to be imminent.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd announced the downgraded terror threat level — to “severe” from “critical” — hours after London police said a second suspect was in custody and a second property was being searched in connection with Friday’s attack that injured 30 people.
