倫敦調查恐襲事件展開突襲緝拿行動
London police carried out more raids Monday in connection with their investigation into Saturday's attack that killed seven people and wounded more than 50 others.
Authorities said the Counter Terrorism Command detained "a number" of people during searches at locations in the Newham and Barking areas.
The new detentions add to the 12 people police said had been arrested as of late Sunday.
Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack through its Amaq news agency.
The violence began with a van striking pedestrians on London Bridge. Police say three men armed with knives then got out of the van and went to a nearby market area where they stabbed numerous people.
Authorities said armed officers shot the three attackers dead within eight minutes of the first call to emergency services. They said canisters the attackers wore, making them look like suicide bombers, were fake.
British Home Secretary Amber Rudd said Sunday that police believe the three who were shot dead by police were the only attackers.
Prime Minister Theresa May said Sunday that three terrorist attacks in Britain in the last three months are "bound together by the evil ideology of Islamist extremism."
There is "far too much tolerance for extremism in our country," May said. "We need to be more robust in identifying and stamping out extremism in public service and across 's time to say enough is enough."
May said Saturday's attack does not appear to be connected to the a suicide bombing last month that killed 22 people in Manchester or another attack on Westminster Bridge in March.
But she said "terrorism breeds terrorism" and that the perpetrators are "copying one another."
Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates each issued statements condemning the attack and expressing support for Britain.倫敦警方星期一展開更多與調查星期六恐襲事件有關的突襲行動，那次恐襲事件造成7人喪生，50多人受傷。
有關當局說，在新漢姆和巴金地區一些地點進行搜查時，“反恐指揮中心”拘捕了一些人。
警方表示，星期天晚上爲止，已經有12人被捕，這次行動使被拘捕人數進一步增加。
“伊斯蘭國”組織通過阿馬克新聞社對本次襲擊事件承擔責任。
襲擊事件始於一輛箱型貨車在倫敦橋上將行人撞倒，警方表示，三名持刀攻擊者隨後從車上跳下來，衝向附近的購物場所，刺傷大量民衆。
有關當局表示，在接到第一個緊急報警電話後的8分鐘之內，3名襲擊者就被武裝警察擊斃。警方說，襲擊者身上有罐狀物體，讓他們看起來像是自殺炸彈殺手，但是那些物體不是炸彈。
英國內政大臣魯德星期天表示，襲擊者就是被警方擊斃的3名行兇男子。
英國首相特雷莎·梅星期天說，過去3個月裏英國發生的3起恐怖襲擊事件都與“伊斯蘭極端主義的邪惡意識形態”密不可分。
這位首相說： “在我們國家，對極端主義太過寬容。我們需要更強有力地找出並剷除公共服務領域和全社會的極端主義......現在是說‘夠了'的時候了。”
特雷莎·梅說，星期六的襲擊事件看來與曼徹斯特造成22人死亡的自殺爆炸事件以及三月份發生的西敏寺大橋襲擊事件無關。
但她說，“恐怖主義滋生恐怖主義”，兇手“互相仿效”。
巴林、科威特、阿曼、卡塔爾和阿拉伯聯合酋長國都發表聲明，譴責此次襲擊事件，並表示支持英國。
