LONDON: British police raided a home near London on Saturday just hours after making their first arrest in the investigation into the bombing of an Underground train a day earlier. “Police officers have evacuated and are searching a residential address in Sunbury, Surrey,” a statement said. Thirty people were treated in hospital after the bomb was detonated in a packed train carriage on Friday morning, in what was Britain’s fifth terror attack in six months. “This arrest will lead to more activity from our officers,” said a statement, outlining that the man was being held under anti-terror legislation. The critical alert terror warning was last used after the deadly suicide attack at Manchester Arena, also claimed by IS, in May.
