British police said on Friday (March 24) they had made two further significant arrests in the investigation into the attack on London's parliament and gave the birth name of the man behind the assault as Adrian Russell Ajao.
Britain's top anti-terrorism officer, Mark Rowley, said police had nine people in custody after the attack on Wednesday (March 22) which killed five people including the assailant.
Police had said the man behind the attack was British-born Muslim covert Khalid Masood, who used several aliases, and that they were trying to establish if others had directed him.
Rowley said at least 50 people were injured in the attack, including two people who remained in hospital in critical condition. Two police officers were also in hospital with significant injuries. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
