Written by News on 20/09/2017
Two more men have been arrested in South Wales over the Parsons Green terrorist attack, police say.
The pair, aged 48 and 30, were taken into custody in Newport just after 5am.
It followed the arrest of a 25-year-old man in the city on Tuesday night in a counter-terrorism raid.
Police say they are continuing to search two properties in Newport.
The latest arrests bring the number of people being held over Friday’s bomb attack in southwest London to five.
Two other men, aged 18 and 21, are still in custody in connection with the attack.
They were both arrested at the weekend and detectives have been given more time to question them.
Yahyah Farroukh, 21, is listed as living at an address in Stanwell, Surrey, which was searched by officers on Sunday.
The 18-year-old man, who was arrested in Dover, is suspected of planting the device, which exploded on a District line train shortly after it pulled into the station.
Magistrates have granted warrants allowing Farroukh to be held until Thursday, and the younger suspect until Saturday.
