WORLD: Two Arrested In Buckingham Palace Terror Incident
A man drove up to a police van and then reached for a 4-foot sword.
Three police officers were slightly injured Friday night as they confronted a 26-year-old man who approached a police van in a restricted area outside Queen Elizabeth II's London residence then reached for the sword in his car. The man, who repeatedly shouted "Allahu akbar!" ("God is great" in Arabic), was arrested on the scene.
Scotland Yard said a second suspect, a 30-year-old man, was detained Sunday in west London on suspicion of involvement in terrorism. Officers were searching an address in the area as part of the probe.
