SECOND ARREST MADE IN LONDON SUBWAY ATTACK

British authorities rolled back the nation's terror threat level from critical to severe on Sunday, hours after a second man was arrested in connection with last week's subway blast in London.

Mark Rowley, assistant commissioner for London's Metropolitan Police, cited "rapid progress" of the investigation into Friday's apparent terrorist attack, but warned that another attack at some point remained "highly likely."

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, which it said was carried out by an affiliated unit.

Rowley said searches were continuing at addresses in the London borough of Hounslow and in Surrey, about 30 miles southwest of London.

SERBIA’S PRIME MINISTER ATTENDS GAY PRIDE MARCH

Serbia’s first openly gay prime minister joined several hundred activists Sunday at a gay pride march held amid tight security in the conservative Balkan country.

Holding rainbow flags, balloons and a banner reading, “For change,” pride participants gathered in Belgrade, the Serbian capital, before setting off on a march through the city. Many approached Prime Minister Ana Brnabic, greeting her and taking selfies.

Serbian riot police cordoned off the city center with metal fences early Sunday to prevent clashes with extremist groups opposed to the pride gathering.
