Armed police are raiding houses in the hunt for a suspected jihadist cell responsible for the mowing down of dozens of victims on London Bridge last night and the stabbing of many more in Borough Market. Scotland Yard confirmed that counter-terrorism officers had arrested 12 people in Barking and a number of homes were being searched.

(Three terrorists wearing fake suicide vests were shot dead by police early today after a van and knife rampage on London Bridge, in which at least seven people were killed and at least 48 were injured.

The terrorists, driving a white van, had ploughed into pedestrians on the bridge before crashing the vehicle and then stabbing people at random in nearby Borough Market.Among those stabbed was a British Transport Police officer who received “serious but not life-threatening injuries” to his head, face and leg.

In a statement outside No 10 this morning, Theresa May said that 48 people were being treated in several hospitals across London following the “brutal terrorist attack.”)

For the third time in less than three months, Britain was reeling from a major terrorist attack after three knife-wielding assailants unleashed a horrifying, late-night assault on Saturday night, killing at least seven people and injuring dozens of others in the heart of London.

The attack came days before national elections this week and after Britain had downgraded the threat level to “severe” from “critical,” the highest category, then raised it again on Sunday.
