British police -- investigating last week’s terrorist attack on Parliament that killed four people -- have arrested another suspect.
The Metropolitan police say a 30-year old man has been apprehend in the central English city of Birmingham on suspicion of preparing terrorists acts. In a statement, police said they arrested a total of 12 people in connection with the attack but nine were released with no further action. Earlier, Home Secretary Amber Rudd said the intelligence services must have access to encrypted social messaging services. The perpetrator of the attack in Westminster, British-born Khalid Masood, is believed to have used messaging app Whatsapp on the same day. However rights groups say accessing social media messages amounts to spying and intrusion of people’s privacy.
