Dramatic video footage released Thursday shows the moment when armed British police swooped into a busy market area near London Bridge and shot dead three attackers after they killed eight people and stabbed dozens. One police officer is seen kicking the body of one of the dead attackers. Detectives from London police’s counterterrorism command raided properties in east London on Thursday, detaining three people on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism offences. RelatedThe three, who were not connected to the weekend attack on London Bridge, are being questioned at a south London police station. Separately, police investigating the London Bridge attack made three arrests in Ilford, also in east London, late Wednesday.
