British police announced on Friday that they had arrested six individuals in London and the southeast of England after uncovering a terrorist plot, and also shot and injured another suspect. According to reports from the Associated Press and Reuters, the suspect who was shot is a woman in her twenties, and although her injuries are serious, her condition is currently stable and under control. The reports indicate that the suspect was arrested in the Willesden area, located in northwest London. The police initially used tear gas but ultimately had to force their way into her home, where they shot her. Two others were also arrested in the home, a 20-year-old woman and a 16-year-old boy. Additionally, a 20-year-old man was arrested in the same neighborhood, and a 28-year-old man and woman were detained while returning to that house. Reports also mention a 43-year-old woman who was arrested in Kent. Just a day before these events, British police arrested a man near the UK Parliament who was reportedly carrying several large knives, but the police stated that the arrests on Friday night were not related to this incident. Nevertheless, British police believe that these arrests have neutralized serious threats to public safety. Following a recent terrorist attack near the UK Parliament, where a man killed four people by driving his car onto the sidewalk, security measures in that area have been increased. The perpetrator of that attack was Khalid Masood, a 52-year-old British-born man, who was identified by ISIS as one of its soldiers. Before being shot by police, Khalid Masood killed one of the police officers guarding the Parliament with a knife.
