May\u2019s statement came following a high-level security meeting, also known as COBRA, in the capital.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is time to say enough is enough,\u201d May said.<\/p>\n
A police statement later said 12 suspects had been arrested after raids were carried out in Barking, East London, in connection with last night’s incidents. \u201cSearches of a number of addresses in Barking are continuing,\u201d it added. Local media reported that raids and searches also continued in East Ham area.<\/p>\n
At least seven people were killed in attacks late Saturday that involved a van mowing down pedestrians on London Bridge; assailants also stabbed victims at nearby Borough Market; 21 injured are in critical conditions, according to health officials.<\/p>\n
May said: \u201cLast night, our country fell victim to a brutal terrorist attack once again… Shortly before 10:10 yesterday evening, the Metropolitan Police received reports that a white van had struck pedestrians on London Bridge.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt continued to drive from London Bridge to Borough Market, where 3 terrorists left the van and attacked innocent and unarmed civilians with blades and knives.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll 3 were wearing what appeared to be explosive vests, but the police have established that this clothing was fake and worn only to spread panic and fear.”<\/p>\n
The premier also confirmed the death toll. \u201cSeven people have died as a result of the attack, in addition to the 3 suspects shot dead by the police,\u201d she said. A later police statement said 8 armed officers shot the assailants dead with 50 bullets.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the officers confronted the terrorist, a member of the public also suffered gunshot wounds. Although the injuries are not critical in nature,\u201d police assistant commissioner Mark Rowley said in a statement.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist! Check your syntax!
