- Story Text: Police raided a building in east London that was the home address of one of the three attackers who killed seven people in the city centre, Sky News reported on Sunday (June 4), citing unnamed sources.
London's Metropolitan Police arrested 12 people in the Barking district of east London in connection with the attack and raids were continuing there, the force said. A local resident Salahudeen Jaila told Reuters on Sunday that one of the attackers was known to him, that he saw him around with the family.
He recalled an episode when the suspected attacker had been asked to leave a local mosque after he disagreed with the preaching imam.
On Saturday (June 3), three attackers drove a hired van into pedestrians on London Bridge and stabbed others nearby, killing seven people and injuring 48. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
