Women arrested in station swoop

TWO women were arrested at gunpoint at Liverpool Street station in central London yesterday on suspicion of terrorism, police confirmed.

The suspects were pinned to the ground in a dramatic swoop on the station concourse, which was evacuated as a suspect package was checked.

Scotland Yard confirmed that the women are in custody, but said it was “too early to say” if they are being detained in connection with the London transport network attacks.
