LONDON -- British police warned Friday they were facing an "increased level of terrorist activity," the day after a knifeman was arrested near parliament and a woman was shot in a separate police raid. "Yesterday was an extraordinary day in London," Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said, after confirming six arrests overnight. A 27-year-old man remains in custody after being arrested near parliament on suspicion of terrorism offences and possession of knives, in what police confirmed had been an ongoing investigation. "Due to these arrests that have been made yesterday, in both cases I believe we have contained the threats that they posed," Basu said. "They stopped and searched him as part of an ongoing counter-terrorism investigation," Basu said, without giving further details.
