A sixth man was arrested in Britain early on Thursday as part of the probe into the bomb attack on a London Underground train last week, police said. The man, aged 17, was detained under anti-terrorism powers in Thornton Heath, south of London, where a search is under way, a statement said.
Some 30 people were injured in the September 15 attack at Parsons Green station in west London, which was claimed by the Islamic State group. Dean Haydon, an anti-terrorism officer, said the investigation was progressing rapidly.
The bomb had been hidden in a large white bucket and it apparently failed to detonate fully during morning rush hour but resulted in what witnesses described as a “fireball”. Some commuters suffered burns, while others were injured in the stampede to the exit that ensued.
