London: 2 more arrests, 5 victims

Two more arrested for Wednesday's attack at London, while the count of people who lost their lives in the attack rises to five. This was announced by the British police: at the moment, according to the head of counter-terrorism Mark Rowley, nine people are in custody and one woman has been released on bail.

Among the victims of the attack there is also the bomber, known as Khalid Masood, a Muslim born in Great Britain and already known by several aliases. His real name would be Adrian Russell Ajao.

"Our investigations aim to understand his motivations, his work," explained Rowley, reiterating that it remains to be clarified whether the bomber acted alone. The man, who was 52, had previously been convicted of crimes not related to terrorism.

However, at least 50 people were injured in the attack, according to British security forces. Two of them would still be in critical condition, one in danger of life.
