UK arrests 7 suspects linked to London terror attack

Today (March 23), British police arrested 7 suspects related to the horrific terrorist attack outside the country's Parliament building.

Police conducted a series of raids overnight.

Last night, security forces conducted a series of raids at many locations in the capital London to search for suspects behind the attack that killed 5 people and injured 40 others. 7 people were arrested at 6 different locations.

According to CNN, Birmingham police have searched an apartment, but it is unclear whether this activity is related to the search for the London attack suspect.

Investigators are hunting for accomplices of the man who drove a car into a crowd and attacked police with a knife near the Houses of Parliament, said Mark Rowley, a senior official in the UK's counter-terrorism police force.

British authorities are calling it a terrorist attack. Police have confirmed they have identified the attacker but have declined to provide further details.

The attack was the deadliest in Britain since the July 7, 2005 bombings that killed 52 people./.
