arrested seven people in connection with the attack outsidethe British House of

pedestrians on a bridge and killed a police officer.

that he believed the attacker acted alone and was ``inspired by international
terrorism.''

some in the central city of Birmingham, and arrested seven people in connection
with Wednesday's attack by a knife-wielding man.

to four, including the attacker, the police officer and two civilians. He said
that 29 people required hospitalization and seven of them are in critical
condition. He also said that authorities were still working out the number of
``walking wounded.'' Police had previously given the total number of injured as
