Three men were arrested Wednesday in south Wales in connection to Friday’s bombing on a London subway train that injured dozens.
A 25-year-old man was detained Tuesday night while two men, aged 30 and 48, were arrested Wednesday morning. A total of five people are now being questioned for alleged involvement in the attack.
“This continues to be a fast-moving investigation. A significant amount of activity has taken place since the attack on Friday,” Commander Dean Haydon, head of London police’s Counter Terrorism Command, said in a statement. “We now have five men in custody and searches are continuing at four addresses. Detectives are carrying out extensive inquiries to determine the full facts behind the attack.”
The two other suspects have been identified as an 18-year-old Iraqi citizen and a 21-year-old Syrian national. They both lived at the home of Ron and Penelope Jones, who had their home Sunbury-on-Thames raided over the weekend. (RELATED: Police Raid Syrian Refugee’s Home In Connection To London Attack)
The couple was honored by Queen Elizabeth in 2009 after taking hundreds of refugees over the years.
“We do it because we find it rewarding,” Penelope Jones said after receiving recognition from the royal family, according to BBC. “Helping other people is rewarding, and I treat them how I would like to be treated if I was in that situation.”
The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, but authorities have found no evidence that ISIS was involved.
